The Future of Robotic Process Automation
Many people believe that RPA, or Robotic Process Automation, is one of the fastest-growing categories in enterprise software at the moment. But what exactly is RPA and how is it going to change the way we work? On this episode of Future of Tech, we invited Guy Kirkwood, the Chief Evangelist at UiPath to give us the inside scoop.
As it turns out, the widespread fear that robots will eliminate jobs for millions of people is actually backward thinking. In fact, Guy explains that as RPA continues to evolve, the technology will ultimately be a net job promoter. Why is that? Because RPA isn’t actually about robots at all. RPA is simply software that runs other software, eliminating repetitive tasks and freeing up humans to innovate, create and work on more complicated work.
Despite those facts, though, RPA adoption is still an ongoing process. Where are we on the adoption timeline and how close are we to a future when everyone has their own RPA robot working for them? Find out that, and more, on this episode!
