Robots, Robots Everywhere

"Shukla of Automation Anywhere offered an even rosier outlook for back-office workers. ‘The workforce will change and skills requirements will shift,’ he says. ‘Our customers tell us they’re seeing sighs of relief from employees, who hate the mundane tasks they have had to do over and over.
