Question: Which of the below IS NOT one of conclusions (findings) of the Acemoglu & Restrepo study? Group of answer choices The number of robots used in production in various industries including the automotive industry, electronics industry, metal products industry, and plastic and chemical industry, were steadily declining, and there would be half as many robots per 1000 workers in 2025 as there were in 2007. By the year 2007 the number of robots had increased to 1 robot for every thousand workers. There are an estimated 1.5–1.75 million robots in operation, with the number expected increase to 4–6 million by 2025. Industries employing many robots include the automotive industry, electronics industry, metal products industry, and plastic and chemical industry.

The short article by Richard Works refers to a study conducted by economists Daron Acemoglu and Pascual Restrepo for the NBER (National Bureau of Economic Research). The study analyzed the effect that industrial robot usage had on labor markets from 1990 to 2007. Based on the summary of the Acemoglu-Restrepo contained in this short article by Richard Works, please answer the question below this text.
Historically we have found that addition of technology to production methods has both assisted labor by making production easier as well as displaced some labor with machines as fewer workers were now needed to get the job done. However, historically, the end result of adding technology was greater production, new demand, economic growth, and new job opportunities for the displaced workers.
In recent years, the addition of robotics and artificial intelligence has added a new dimension to the relationship between technology, labor and employment. The use of robotics, although still quite small in the U.S. work place, is expected to increase sharply in the coming years.
