Interesting to see research amongst young people that highlights a lack of fear of robots and the ability to co-exist alongside, as opposed to threaten, human jobs.
The traditional BFF (best friend forever) is set to be replaced by a robot equivalent for many young people, according to new research. One in five 9-18-year-olds believe a robot could one day become their friend, and 8% admit they already speak to their voice-activated personal assistant like a pal. The research, commissioned by EngineeringUK ahead of Tomorrow’s Engineers Week, reveals how school children feel about living and working with robots.
