POSITIVE IMPACTS
INCREASED EFFICIENCY
Automation streamlines processes, reducing errors and
increasing productivity.
IMPROVED QUALITY OF LIFE
Automation can enhance the quality of life by providing
convenience and accessibility.
COST REDUCTION
Automation software is a better and more intelligent
approach to cost containment and reduction.
INCREASED SAFETY
Automation can be particularly beneficial in hazardous
work environments.
ENVIRONMENTAL BENIFITS
Automation helps companies use resources better and
produce things more efficiently, which reduces waste
and saves energy.
 INNOVATION
Automation helps people think of new ideas and
solutions because it lets them spend more time being
creative. This helps make things better and helps
people live better lives.
NEGATIVE IMPACTS
JOB LOSSES
Automation can result in job losses, particularly in
industries where machines perform more efficiently,
leading to unemployment and financial hardship for
workers.
 SKILLS GAP
Advancements in technology necessitate new skills for
workers to operate and maintain automated systems,
potentially causing job struggles or costly retraining.
SOCIAL DISCONNECTION
Automation may lead to increased social isolation as
people spend less time interacting face-to-face due to
remote work, online shopping, and automated customer
service, potentially eroding social bonds and
community cohesion.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Automation can lead to increased energy consumption,
resource depletion, and environmental degradation,
especially if not implemented sustainably.
