Although there has been a lot of press about robots replacing human jobs, Ian Pearson, a Fellow at Merril Lynch thinks that having robots take over some jobs will actually help grow the economy. Pearson said, "It improves the economy because you have the work people are doing and the work robots are doing, so the economy is growing." There are certain jobs that only humans can perform so with the addition of robots it will help boost productivity in society. the World Academy has reported that as robots replace jobs, more jobs will be made in their absence. Robots were responsible for creating 4 - 6 million jobs through 2011. Based on this, 1.9 - 3.5 million jobs are expected to be created between now and 2020.
