Tomáš Baťa predicted that machines would one day replace human hands. He was not afraid of this change. According to an expert in the interview, Baťa would probably love artificial intelligence today. However, he would not use it to fire people. Instead, he would use AI to do the boring and hard work, so his employees could focus on more creative and meaningful tasks. For Baťa, the human heart and mind were always the most important parts of a business.
