In short, there are those who believe that increasing automation by robots, artificial intelligence, and other new tools will lead to an increase in inequality, but there is no evidence that they are right. Second, many studies on the impact of robots on jobs have examined only regions that have introduced robots, and, not surprisingly, have generally found that employment growth is slowing in regions with high robot adoption. For starters, it seems that the automation impact of the next wave of technology, including robots, will likely be far greater in the United States than in other countries, such as China, India, and Japan. Many will argue that future patterns of automation will be problematic because lower-income jobs are more at risk. In education and health care, we find services that resist capitalist rationalization, such as health insurance. If we assume that innovations in machine learning and artificial intelligence will make progress in all areas of work, then we will be forced into jobs that are being hijacked by machines. But if there is no automation after the collapse of the factory - production is rising faster than jobs are replacing - then an increasing capital-to-labor ratio will lead to growing demand. When the production process is automated, a factory is a machine that only works when it breaks down, and when it does, human labor is created, because machinists have to restore the machine. If production increases faster than labor is replaced, the effect of automation is to consume more labor, rather than displace it.

On the other hand, in large industries, there is a wide range of control methods that objectify the speed at which machines are automated, such as the use of human control systems. In many cases, human use has been so low that even where automation of industrial tasks is possible, use in other industries is still limited. Robots are above all an example of automation, which is mainly used in industrial research and leads to less waste. Examples of automation in companies are the calculation of paychecks and payrolls as well as an automated cash register and inventory system used in many supermarkets. In many cases, human intervention is so limited that even where automation of industrial tasks is possible, there is only a limited number of workplaces or even fewer of them. Various types of automation have brought benefits to many other companies, including lower worker turnover, increased worker safety, and lower labor costs. Automation and computerization have led to high productivity and a net loss of jobs.

The information age has affected the workforce in many ways, resulting in higher productivity and fewer jobs, but there are different types of automation and the way they have affected them.
