I don’t know about AI exclusively, but I do believe that given the rise of automation in different industries and the prospect of AI and QC, in the future when robotics become more cost effective for companies they will most definitely go for that option.

The thing about automation is that if a company can go full robotics, they don’t have to worry about the downsides of human labor. Robots don’t need breaks, never complain about work, no need for HR, and after a period of time will pay for itself and become 100% profit without paying wage increases.
