Answer 1

Answer:

2. Determines if a person or business process can be replaced by a robot or software.

Explanation:

An automation executive cannot manage or defend intellectual property, copyrights, and patents. Therefore, the 1st option is comprehensively wrong.

An automation manager does not need to worry about the optimal relationship between the user and the technology over the next decade. Therefore, the third option is wrong, either.

Legal counselor handles ethical and legal use of information. Therefore, the last option is wrong.

An automation executive is always trying to innovate something new to increase productivity and reducing employees' stress. Therefore, the chief automation officer will try to create a robot or software to replace the employees. So, option 2 is correct.
