The sentiment was reflected in findings of a survey conducted by tech firm Oracle.

Intelligent tech has made life simpler for people in almost all sectors including healthcare, education, retail, banking and investment, while robots are quickly gaining ground in restaurants, malls, hospitals as well as airports, during the new normal. Over the past year, AI teachers have been pitched as a revolutionary addition to edtech, and algorithms are empowering medical staff to make informed decisions, by monitoring patients and also spotting early symptoms of grave conditions.

Machine learning is also being used to simplify stock trading for young netizens, as it manages their portfolios, keeps an eye on fluctuations in the market, and recommends the most lucrative assets to bet on. This immense capability of smart solutions to empower data-driven decision-making, to increase efficiency in every sector, has convinced young professionals in the UAE that robots can make the right decisions for their careers.

More than 90% of the respondents in a survey felt that droids are better at giving career guidance as compared to human beings, since they are free from all kinds of biases. Most were also swayed by the ability of robo-advisers to deliver quick answers about their professional situation, and a similar number were impressed that AI can suggest jobs best suited to an individual's skill set.

Going beyond just career, as many as 87% of the people surveyed by tech firm Oracle even admitted that they were willing to make life changes as per the recommendations provided by robots. In the age of digitisation, businesses which use AI-driven solutions to ensure professional growth for their employees are more likely to convince workers to stay.

The findings also showed that over 90% people in the Emirati workforce are in favour of AI suggesting skills which they need to work on, and a large number of respondents also wanted technology to show them how to learn new skills. To sum things up, an overall majority said that they would rely on steps to achieve career goals from a robot.
