Have you ever noticed how we are steadily integrating more and more advanced robotics into our daily lives? Just think about the staggering progress in this area within the last decade. Household cleaning robots such as Roombas were once seen as a luxury, or even a novelty, but now they are becoming almost commonplace.
Even in our workplaces, automation and AI are playing an increasingly prevalent role. Businesses increasingly rely on robotics for tasks that range from automated email responses to sophisticated manufacturing processes.
And it’s not just limited to professional settings or domestic chores. In the health industry for instance, robotics is helping with breakthroughs in surgery and patient care. There have been successful trials for robotic-assisted surgeries that can make much more precise incisions than a human could.
But this idea also brings up a whole lot of ethical and societal questions as well. What is the impact on job markets? How do we ensure these robots are used in a responsible way? And, perhaps most intriguingly, how do we approach and define artificial intelligence?
What are your thoughts? How has robotic advancement affected your life? And where do you see it going in the future?
