I live in the UK and will be starting work in this industry soon hopefully. The guys I'll be working for believe that this industry is about to blow up and become worth something like £20b.
for those who don't know, RPA basically boils down to developing very simple 'Ai' that can perform mundane and repetitive tasks much faster than humans, allowing them to work on other more complex jobs (or just removing the need for them). This might be something like extracting data from an invoice and filing it into a spreadsheet.
It seems like a nobrainer for managers since they can pay X amount for a bot that works non-stop and much faster than a human, and doesn't take sick days, but obviously I'm sure that 20b figure is pure guesswork.
does anyone know about it? Will anyone be investing?
