An interesting article in the Weekend Australian of the 21st November 2015 relating to “The disruptors reshaping our world” by Allan Kohler.
As the business editor at large, he reported on a new share float of Fastbricks Robotics, doubling in price on the Australian Stock Exchange just after its launch. The company manufactures robots to lay bricks because, as its corporate video suggests, bricklaying is a repetitive process which is ideal for robotics.
It is suggests a normal house could be built in 2 days with the use of robotic brick layers.
Apart from robotics disrupting traditional businesses and skills, artificial intelligence is now seen as the greatest disruptor to the way we do business and work.
The industry disrupters such as Airbnb and Uber only touch the surface of changing the way service industries work; soon artificial intelligence will change the roles people play in the economy.
