In today’s world, technology is advancing at a dizzying speed, and undoubtedly, one of the biggest transformations is happening in the field of robots and artificial intelligence. “Rise of the Robots” comprehensively addresses the effects of this transformation on the business world, the economy, and society. This book serves as a guide explaining how robots are creating radical changes not only in industry and production but in every aspect of our lives.
As automation, artificial intelligence, and robotic technologies reshape the future of humanity, they present us with both great opportunities and significant challenges. Robots are increasingly taking places in jobs based on human labor, and this situation creates far-reaching effects from the labor market to social structures. The book reveals that this process should be evaluated not only as technological progress but also through its economic and ethical dimensions.
