KUWAIT CITY, Nov 29: According to Kaspersky research, employees in the META region believe that the better robots become at different tasks, the fewer jobs will remain for humans. The majority of employees (78%) believe that robots should be more widely used across different industries, however, many fear robot hacking.

Today robotics are used together with industrial control systems and other information technology to handle production processes, replacing manual labor and improving efficiency, speed, quality and performance. Kaspersky conducted a study to learn the opinion of employees of manufacturing companies and other large organizations around the world about the consequences of automation and increased use of robots. The goal was to see what employees think about the security of robots and automated systems in their companies. The survey included respondents from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Turkey, Egypt, and South Africa.
