Still alive. True AI solutions might be gaining strength and capabilities, but RPA has the advantage of both being cheap and requiring very little training to create new robots, let alone support existing ones.
So I assume it will keep existing not because AI won't be able to do it, but because it will be too expensive for most companies compared to RPA whenever that option is viable.
I don't know about RPA but I'll be over 50 years in age
The life cycle on tools and tech is shortening across the board. There is already tech that automates better than RPA. The question is what will it take to move businesses to change
MD1, what tech are you referencing as superceding RPA. Curious from an educational perspective.
Dead
Agreed, I do not see RPA being a viable solution long term, think it fades in 5 in favor of intelligent automation and Machine Learning.
It’ll be rebranded something else that conference presentations can use as the "new thing”
I agree, as a developer I am riding the RPA wave and hoping to transition into machine learning
RPA is modern day screen scraping. Machine learning and artificial intelligence will supplant it over time
Vendors like AA are already moving into intelligent automation and opening up APIs into AI/ML capabilities. RPA is just a re-shoring gateway drug for AI/ML
I also would like to think that rpa will be replaced by apis. But companies stay often way to long invested in something bought. So it should be gone in five years. But will stay for at least 15.
RPA will have a place, that doesn’t mean it is going to be the only solution to contribute to making a “digital workforce” but simple mundane tasks are much easier to automate and manage than coding out something in python, R or even VBA. They have a place, intelligent automation and custom code do as well.
RPA becomes small fraction of entire AI ecosystem and still needed for few manual repetitive tasks
I mean to say it still exists as MS office products in future
Maybe I am crazy but I think RPA can find its niche and grow. The tools can improve and if you start having better ocr capability I think there's a lot of opportunities.
RPA is a transitional system for all use cases where backend redesign is not financially feasible. I feel that it will always have a place.
