🤝 Amazon & MIT: how will robotics affect employment?
Read Time: 4 minutes
Our Report: Amazon, in collaboration with MIT, is launching a study to understand the effects of robots on employment dynamics—specifically the implications of increased automation in the workplace (almost ironic considering their stance in the past).
🔑 Key Points:
The primary concern of the study isn't job numbers but the perceptions of human employees and the general public regarding the growing role of AI and robotics in various industries.
Amazon Robotics' Chief Technologist, Tye Brady, emphasizes that while over 750,000 mobile robots operate in their facilities, Amazon has still hired hundreds of thousands of employees in the past decade.
The research will delve into human-robot interaction (HRI), a critical domain that explores the synergy between humans and robots in shared environments.
MIT's Julie Shah comments: “Our research shows that the best way to optimize human-robot team performance is to develop robots that are active collaborators in helping a human to learn about their capabilities, limitations and behaviors.”
🤨 Why you should care: This study could provide insights into how businesses can effectively integrate technology without compromising the human workforce. Equally so, the study could highlight how effective robots are, sans humans, in a warehouse environment.
