The rise of automation means that many workers around the world will eventually be replaced by robots and artificial intelligence, and most Americans are not financially prepared to face a reduction in income, said Robert Kiyosaki, best-selling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad.
"The reason we have social unrest is that people that are protesters [don't have assets]. They've got nothing. If they lose their jobs and they lose their income and they have [no assets], we're going to have a revolution," Kiyosaki told Kitco News.
