According to the German Press Agency, the study asked respondents for their opinions on hypothetical scenarios where robots are used in fields such as healthcare, retail, and household cleaning. Most participants found it unacceptable for robots to film them secretly without their knowledge. Some said robot surveillance could be acceptable if it was “for security purposes.”
The use of robots has spread across various sectors over the past decade, as these machines now perform more complex tasks at affordable costs.
Analysts from the American investment bank Morgan Stanley previously stated that the rise of artificial intelligence combined with robotics could lead to the production of “human-like” machines, potentially causing millions of people to lose their jobs.
