This trend is driven by a desire to increase efficiency and reduce labor costs, as well as to provide customers with a more consistent and personalized experience.

According to a recent study published in the journal PLOS ONE, around 39% of the time spent on housework and caring for loved ones could be automated within a decade. The study involved 65 artificial intelligence experts from the UK and Japan who were asked to predict the amount of automation in common household tasks in the next 10 years. Experts predicted that grocery shopping was likely to see the most automation, while caring for the young or old was the least likely to be impacted by AI. The research, conducted by the University of Oxford and Japan's Ochanomizu University, sheds light on the impact that robots could have on unpaid domestic work. The study found that male UK experts tended to be more optimistic about domestic automation compared to their female counterparts, a situation that was reversed in Japan. However, the tasks that experts thought automation could do varied greatly. To read more, use the button below to open the original external article.

There’s been a lot of talk recently about using supercomputers to simulate the human brain. But as scientists get progressively closer to achieving this goal, they’re going to have to consider the ethics involved. By making minds that live inside machines, we run the risk of inflicting serious harm.
