The elephant in the room seems obvious. Still, I see this focus on concern and worry as misplaced\u2014a narrative pushed into our minds as the only plausible option. Let\u2019s look at what\u2019s not being discussed.<\/p>\n<p>Society often equates advancement with replacement, and it\u2019s natural to feel apprehensive. Change is hard. But it also makes things easier. Why are we not shifting our thoughts to the opportunities created by automation?
