The European Commission (EC) has acknowledged artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics as an area of strategic importance and a key driver of digital transformation and economic development. The EC’s AI experts recommended that Member States provide ‘human-centric AI-based services for individuals’ while making strategic use of public procurement to foster innovation by acquiring AI-based solutions via the public procurement mechanisms of the European Union (EU). Furthermore, earlier this year, the European Parliament endorsed RPA as a driver of transformation in the public sector. Through its local office, UiPath, whose automation solutions are being used by over 40 public agencies around the world, aims to support the EU in its mission to become a digitally transformed, citizen-centric and data-driven administration by 2022.

Early adopters, spanning all economic sectors, know they have introduced to the workplace a powerful tool that gives their staff back the time to accomplish more value-added work. Adopting UiPath’s ‘Automation First’ mindset, which envisions a robot for every person and prepares employees for the workplace of the future, will position businesses and governments at the forefront of the fourth industrial revolution.”
