  • Few doubt that our future — both immediate and long term — will be heavily impacted by robots
  • A pair of Oxford researchers recently estimated that 47 percent of the total U.S. employment is at risk of being eliminated.
  • On the other end of the spectrum, Mercedes announced it is trading out some of its production robots for human labor — the machines could not keep up with the increasing options for customization
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • robots in the workplace will likely help reverse this trend.
  • The vast majority of automation technology will not outright replace humans; instead, it will simply make their work more efficient.
  • As the global supply chain matured, market pressures drove American companies to offshore their work to other countries that offered inexpensive labor
  • This is not to say that all white-collar workers should enroll in engineering night classes, but knowing how technology works at a base level will make you better at your job

  • making robots look like humans or cute animals, we may develop emotional affinity toward the machines
  • . This could help promote trust with users—but perhaps also overtrust?
  • Robots are tools, but they are tools that sometimes hold meaning for people that interact with them, or through them, as when robots are teleoperated at a distance
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • In addition, sometimes robot operators insert a very clear extension of themselves into the robot, much like we see people invest in game avatars
  • I’d also categorize extending a sense of oneself into a robot as a form of attachment.
  • In ten or twenty years, when humanlike and animal-like robots are employed in a more drone-like way from a greater distance, will a similar user self-extension or new human-robot social phenomenon cause any hesitation during human-directed tasks and effect mission outcomes?
  • As AI and robots become more involved in our models of everyday life, I believe there will be a spectrum of emotional responses toward robots depending on their roles (for instance, caregiver, educator, industrial, companion, etc.) and individual user tendencies.
  • A consequence of purposeful design for attachment is that objects of attachment trigger the owner’s emotions in situations like decision making, and so can be agents of persuasion or otherwise effect someone’s actions
  • The bottom line is that these human-AI/robot interactions are transactions and not reciprocal, and therefore probably not healthy for most people to rely on as a long-term means for substituting organic two-way affectionate bonds, or as a surrogate for a human-human shared relationship
  • Is attachment to a robot problematic ethically?

  • The largest size (2500 watt) could provide enough power for a small house (though would obviously need backing up). The 1000 is good for RVs and boat owners, the Agustssons say, while the smallest 50 watt one is right for USB devices and laptops. The turbines can also back up electric cars when the grid isn't available.
