Richard Dawkins’ concept of the “replicator” in his book “The Selfish Gene” provides a fascinating lens through which we can view the rise of Robotic Process Automation (RPA). RPA bots act as simple replicators, programmed to mimic and repeat basic tasks with high accuracy and speed. As RPA technology evolves, it has the potential to revolutionize how work gets done, potentially automating not just basic tasks, but also more complex decision-making processes.
