3. The Impacts of Replacing Human Labor with Robots
Brandon Battle
12/30/2018
We live in an era where technology is rapidly taking over
various aspects of our lives. A good example is the use of
robots that is slowly taking over the human labor in the
operations taking place within organizations. This is because
robots are believed to be faster, more efficient, and a cheaper
way of producing goods and services. However, replacing
human labor with robots tends to have more detrimental effects
than benefits. Some of which include:
There is a high risk of data breach and other cyber security
issues
Replacing the human labor force with software applications that
are accessible wirelessly tends to be at a high risk of data
breach especially in instances where these robots are managed
by computers which perform the majority of the operations can
attract hacking activities hence making it less safe for
companies to maintain their data (Parisi, 2017).
There is a higher maintenance and installation costs
Switching a conventional workforce to a robotic one would
mean a high considerable expense. This can create a barrier to
smaller organizations with limited financial resources. This
would mean that smaller organizations that cannot afford to
automate their workflow will have to be left behind.
There is reduced flexibility
The use of robots can be very efficient hence improving the
productivity of an organization. However, these machines are
limited to when it comes to the scope of use thus can be a major

4. disadvantage to companies that require frequent adaptation to
changing circumstances. This is because machines can be a
major liability in an instance where change is required to take
place quickly.
There will be a massive loss of employment opportunities
The widespread of automation processes tends to create a great
loss in employment opportunities thus may lead to a potentially
serious social issues (DelGado, 2017). The emergence of self-
driven cars is deemed to eliminate various positions a very short
period of time. Robots may even overtake specialized fields
such as medical diagnostics and surgical care.
There is also high anxiety and insecurity regarding the
future
The emergence of automation in workplaces is a major concern
in various professions. The future can be expected to
completely change hence creating much anxiety and insecurity
pertaining the future expectation of change.
In conclusion, we can conclude that the replacement of human
labor with the use of robots tends to have more negative than
positive impacts to the organizations as well as individuals who
are likely to face it more by lacking a source of income
following their replacement with robots in their respective
professions.
