Will Robots Actually Create Jobs?
broodsugar · x · 2026-07-11
This content references an article titled "When robots create jobs", arguing that automation and robotics might not just eliminate jobs but could create more employment opportunities in sectors like retail.
It highlights a specific prediction: by 2035, retail employment could be higher rather than lower than it is today. The author also suggests that the AI and robotics industry is facing a "self-inflicted PR crisis"—the public often only sees narratives around replacement and job loss, overlooking the new roles and divisions of labor that automation can bring.
