Technology influences every aspect of our lives. But many fear that there will come a day when robotics, AI and machine learning will take precedence over the human workforce and render many of us jobless.

After all, these robots will be faster and more efficient than us. They will never get ill or depressed, never take holidays or upset each other. They can work 24hrs a day, 7 days a week and business owners wouldn’t even need to switch the lights on in their buildings as the robots do not mind working in darkness. The savings are huge and will be irresistable to many compaies.

As big brands start to join the technology bandwagon on a higher level, the push to include such AI machines will only increase. According to ZDNet.com, McDonald’s recently announced that they had plans to roll out robotic-based kiosk order centers to replace workers at 2,500 of its locations.

Human fast-food workers often lack the skills or ability to keep up with order flows and demands by customers. Machines will improve the overall customer experience, at the expense of thehuman workers they will start to replace.
