This is exactly right. Companies like UiPath and Automation Anywhere deploying robotic process automation will speed this up in tertiary, quaternary, and quinary sectors. https://twitter.com/markmuro1/status/1353049138317774848

If you think the first year lawyer or analyst at a white shoe firm is safe—they may not always be. If NLP software can extra data from documents, make amendments or suggestions based on previous case data, lower level tasks will take significantly less time.

One of the big opportunities for RPA is within the public sector. It could be used to automate away the inefficiencies and menial visual/language tasks with rules-based bots at high volume within government agencies.

The most obvious missed opportunity for robotic process automation is vaccination scheduling.

RPA could have powered logic-based, automated "smart scheduling" via text and web.

This would have been the perfect business case.

Someone please make me CTO of NYC so I can move the city forward with its tech priorities and projects.

The missed Covid tech opportunities:

–– One simple URL for symptoms, testing, timelines, and visuals
–– A good Covid app
–– Robotic process automation for text/web-based vaccination scheduling
–– Early detection via FitBits for frontline workers
–– Digital vaccination passport
