"There is no consensus on how robotics will affect the creation or destruction of employment, some studies are optimistic and others are not," Professor Guy Michaels of the London School of Economics told Efe. Michaels presented the results of a study that analyzed data from Swedish and American workers, from the 1980s until today, and the impact that technology has had on employment. The conclusions of the research assess the positive impact that industrial robots have had on improving productivity, but also that they have reduced unskilled jobs, with the consequent increase in unemployment. "The horizon of change will still be perceived in several decades and, although many jobs have been replaced and reconverted throughout history, it is reasonable to expect the loss of jobs," he confessed with respect to the digital revolution.
