in deutscher SpracheRobots are increasingly becoming a staple of everyday life. It is not only about conveyor belts in factories. We are talking about deserted supermarkets, nursing robots in retirement homes or self-driving buses. Who decides where robots will replace us? Will our economic location suffer if we resist? Is, perhaps, Austria poised to profit from this progress? The time has come to make the right decisions.
