“It’s only a myth that technology and robots are taking away jobs. “Amazon has added greater than 50,000 jobs by introducing recent technologies.”

Stefano La Robert, Director of Global Robotics and Mechatronics, Amazon.

In an interview with CNBC on the twelfth (local time), he said that robots and artificial intelligence (AI) are improving the roles of individuals, resulting in the creation of recent job categories quite than replacing jobs.

Amazon said it has invested greater than 700 million euros (about 1 trillion won) and installed greater than 1,000 recent technologies across its European achievement center network over the past five years.

Specifically, Amazon introduced a humanoid from AI robot startup Agility Robotics, and last month released a video of it getting used to maneuver luggage at a delivery center.

“Robotics and technology help employees by reducing travel distances, eliminating repetitive movements and enabling heavy lifting,” said Robert. “In consequence, employees can learn recent skills and competencies and advance toward their profession goals.” “You’ll be able to acquire recent capabilities,” he explained.

He added, “Over the past few years, greater than 700 recent job categories have been created using technology.”
