ThrowForward Thursday 167: The Talking Robots are Human Controlled
The near future of so-called autonomous humanoid robots is not quite what we imagine.
Come with me to 2029, when a dark side of the robotic world becomes reality. The robots we will deploy in care homes and kindergartens - those humanoid robots who look after our elderly and children - are now revealed to be controlled by underpaid and overworked human operators in sweat shops on the other side of the world.
Yes, of course, we will one day have fully autonomous, talking robots in the future. But for quite some time between now and then, the best way to achieve this is to have some level of human control. I don't think it will be benign and beneficial to the operators, sadly.
There's a cautionary tale here about capitalism, worker rights, technology hype and the illusions of progress.
