Description

Automata examines how AI and advanced robotics are rapidly surpassing human abilities in fields once thought uniquely ours—from playing chess to discovering new antibiotics to fraud detection. As Automata—AI integrated with advanced robotics—become superior at more tasks, the question is no longer if machines will replace workers, but how we can stay relevant in a world shaped by intelligent automation. This book explores the profound transformation ahead, drawing on real-world trends and technologies already beginning to reshape our lives.

With most of these changes expected within the next decade or two, Automata offers timely use cases and practical strategies to help individuals and organisations navigate this new era. It highlights needed changes in education—such as the importance of learning-to-learn and emotional intelligence—to help society prepare for this new age.

Automata is a vital guide for anyone seeking to thrive—rather than just survive—as human work, society, and daily life are redefined by the rise of machine intelligence.
