I, Robot-Manager

Schumpeter | The Economist

The world already has more than 1m industrial robots. There is now an acceleration in the rates at which they are becoming both cleverer and cheaper: an explosive combination.

America’s armed forces have 12,000 robots serving in their ranks...in essence, killing machines. Mankind’s 5,000-year monopoly on the fighting of war is breaking down.

The world could be on the verge of a great management revolution: making robots behave like humans rather than the 20th century’s preferred option, making humans behave like robots.
