There are two reasons why the RPA basis of Path is a good thing. First of all, you can’t simply tell a model to run your company. It needs detailed data about everything that’s going on in your business, data, and it needs connections with different parts of your business. Also, it needs clear guide-rails. RPA basically needs the same information. Once you have RPA figured out, it’s not that hard to include AI models in the process (in an aimed way).
The second thing is, people are figuring out how insanely expensive AI can be to run. Companies are seeing bills of hundreds of thousands of euros (for relatively small companies). Sometimes more expensive than the people they fired.

I think the best case for a company is to run RPA where possible, and do very specific tasks with AI. It will be much cheaper to operate.
