Aging Workforce Fuels Demand For Automation

Multiple articles across regions (China, South Korea, Europe, Puerto Rico) show companies and industries turning to humanoid robots, AI, and automation specifically to address aging/shrinking workforces and labor shortages, aligning with the prediction's thesis. None of the articles indicate automation investment stalling or that labor gaps are being filled primarily through traditional hiring, which would have matched the falsification criteria.

Horizon short
What would prove this wrong

Automation investment stalls or declines and labor-gap roles are filled primarily through traditional hiring rather than automation over the period.
