Explain the advantages and disadvantages of automating a process

What will be an ideal response?

The decision to automate can be challenging. Clearly computers have many advantages—productivity, speed, quality, scale, consistency, and reduction of human injury. Automated actors are more capable in low-judgment settings where well-known and repeatable activities are performed, like timing the inputs on an assembly line, holding an altitude for an airplane, or checking if every box has been completed on a form. But computers also break down unexpectedly and require maintenance. Humans, on the other hand, are uniquely able to deal with high-judgment activities that feature uncertainty or ambiguity like the diagnosis and treatment of illness, risk assessment, human communication, interaction, and learning.
