Can any software write good column?

Ever since I began writing on the robotics industry three years ago, a question has been unsettling my consciousness: Will robots take away my job?

It's a question asked by readers, experts and policymakers too, reflecting how technological advances could sometimes stoke insecurity and implant fear in people's minds.
