The Robot Workforce is Rising Quickly

In South Korea, the minimum wage increase of 5% in the last year and the implementation of the Serious Disasters Punishment Act unintentionally pushed companies to accelerate their shift toward automation.

In the US, Singapore and Japan, robots are rising in response to labour shortages.

However, even in South Korea, there is less than one robot for every ten human workers, so it'll be some time before we reach a truly distopian scenario.
