YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, the largest bank in Japan, has plans to build an army of ‘emotional robots’ to create a robot workforce revolution to replace the dwindling numbers of human labor in the country.
The robot, named NAO by its creators at Aldebaran Robotics, will be two feet tall (fifty-eight centimeters), have the ability to speak nineteen languages but most importantly will be able to pick up on and resound to human speech patters and emotions. The robots can listen to questions, work late night hours for twenty-four hour banking and more.
Some have widely regarded this as a bad move, including the CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX Elon Musk who has said that there is a danger of super intelligent robots becoming a pandora’s box that we can’t control. There is also a danger that a larger robot workforce will lead to less human interaction and an even larger desensitized population than we already have. The danger that the concept and robots will eventually end up replacing the human workforce in countries that don’t have a shortage of human workers is a real possibility.
