The robot boom: are businesses ready for an AI-powered workforce?
Companies are increasingly turning to robotics, but most lack a clear strategy for deploying robot fleets. France 24 discussed the issue with Intel's head of robotics and industrial solutions.
Businesses around the world are rushing to adopt robotics as artificial intelligence makes machines more capable and autonomous. French international news channel France 24 covered the trend in its business programme on 10 November 2026.
Plans without a strategy
According to the programme's description, many executives expect to deploy fleets of robots in the coming years. However, far fewer companies have a clear strategy for how to do it.
A conversation with Intel
France 24 journalist Charles Pellegrin spoke with John Healy, Intel's Vice President of Robotics and Industrial Solutions, about the topic. The video segment, about six and a half minutes long, looks at the opportunities, risks and workforce challenges behind the growing robot revolution.
The programme summary gives no figures on how many companies plan to adopt robotics or how many have already drawn up a strategy. Nor does it detail what Healy said in response to the questions; it only makes clear that the discussion covers opportunities, risks and the effect on workers.
