The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) analyzed this possible problem and concluded that 14% of jobs of work in countries of the Organization are highly automated and 32% could face important changes in the way of be done. In addition, he stressed that new technologies would create more job offers.
According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR) expresses the optimistic version of the impact of the automation of work and ensures that these changes are driving the creation of more jobs, where he foresees a future in which machines and humans work together. "Jobs that require greater physical effort will cease to be a problem for humans," says the Federation.

Using the artificial intelligence it is increasingly being reflected in some countries where South Korea leads the list with 710 robots for every 10,000 workers. Followed by Singapore and Germany, with 658 and 322 robots respectively. It is estimated that by the end of 2020 more than 3 million robots will be operational in the world.
There are many advantages that automation and the use of robots in industries brings with it and it is due to the principles of RPA or robotic process automation. This technology replicates human actions in repetitive tasks through software that allows the speed of the process for computer work.

When talking about robots, it does not necessarily mean large and heavy machines. According to the editor of SweestestHome, Isabel Diaz, we also find home automation or automation in the home that allows us to automatically control the functions and tasks of household appliances, air conditioning, heating and even security systems such as surveillance cameras through software that is connected to the computer and then to equipment personal. This system facilitates the constant control of household tasks.
According to the World Economic Forum in its report The Future of Jobs Report 2020, which analyzes the current economic situation, provides a vision of what employment will be like in the next five years and ensures that the job automation has accelerated thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Employers globally will accelerate the automation process in their companies by 50%.

In 2025, almost half of the existing jobs will be for machines, as opposed to the work for humans, which will represent 53%, says the report. According to the surveys carried out, 43% of the companies would reduce the workforce due to the implementation of new technologies in the production of industries, so that around 85 million jobs would cease to exist as they were considered obsolete. But, job automation will create 97 million new jobs.
