⑴Amid fears about robots replacing human jobs, South Korea could become the first
country in the world to introduce a “robot tax.” A new proposal could see the country
reduce the amount of tax benefits for companies that invest in automated machinery. So
while it’s not exactly a direct tax on robots, it looks like the government is making
investment in robotics less appealing for companies. South Korea has the highest
concentration of robots in the world, with 531 multipurpose industrial robots for every
10,000 employees in the manufacturing industry. Currently, South Korean companies
that invest in automation equipment can have up to 7 percent of their corporate tax rate
deducted. The new ruling, however, will see this cut by up to 2 percent.

Rankings. Overall, 51 of the UK’s 76 institutions have slipped down in the rankings

selective universities, including Oxford and Cambridge, saw 16 dropping down in the
rankings.
