The future of robot nanny

Parenting is The most intimate event. Evolution has produced such a powerful driving force that we will risk our lives to protect our own children, and often protect any child, even the children of other species. In contrast, robots are products created by commercial entities with commercial goals. These products may—and should—include the well-being of customers, but they are by no means limited to this. Robots, companies, and other legal or illegal entities do not have the human instinct to care for young people-even though our anthropomorphic tendencies may prompt some children and adults to ignore this fact.

Therefore, it is important to consider the possibility of deception—including commercial deception through advertising and parental self-deception—even though robots are unlikely to cause serious psychological harm to children and others. May fall in love with them.

Whether it’s a TV manufacturer, If children are left in front of the TV for a long time, neither the broadcaster nor the online game manufacturer is liable. Robot companies will want to be in the same position, because no company is willing to take responsibility for children’s damage, so manufacturers are likely to underestimate the artificial intelligence (AI) and interactive capabilities of their robots. Therefore, any robot (and of course those in jurisdictions with strong consumer protection) is likely to be sold primarily as toys, surveillance equipment, and possibly household utilities. They will use bright colors and have been carefully designed to attract parents and children. We look forward to a variety of products, some with advanced features, and some with human features. Parents will quickly discover the robot’s ability to attract and distract children.Robot company will program

The experience for parents and children is just like what TV broadcasters do. But robots will always have disclaimers, such as “This device is not a toy and can only be used under adult supervision” or “This device is for entertainment only. It should not be considered educational.”

However, parents will notice that they can let their children stay alone with the robot, just as they can let their children watch TV or play with other children. Humans are extraordinary learners, very good at discovering patterns and making use of availability. Parents will quickly notice the educational advantages of robot nanny with advanced artificial intelligence and communication skills.Occasional horror stories, such as the robot nanny in the novel and the tragedy of a toddler Scarlett and Goul, Will make headlines and remind parents how to use robots responsibly.

This may continue until or unless injury occurs that requires redesign, revision of consumer safety standards, statutory notification requirements, and/or risk-based uninsurability, all of which will further improve the industry. At the same time, the media will also capture stories about robots saving children in unexpected ways, just as children (or adults) are being rescued by other toddlers and dogs. This shouldn’t make people think that they should let children be alone with robots, but given that we already have a tendency to anthropomorphize robots, this may make parents feel a little more comfortable—until the next horror story makes headlines.

When it comes to responsibility, we should be able to convey to the manufacturer of robot nanny the same responsibility model that applies to toys: make your robots reliable, accurately describe their behavior, and provide adequate notification of reasonably foreseeable dangers caused by abuse . Then, except for special cases of design or manufacturing errors, such as parts falling off and suffocating children, the legal responsibility will be entirely borne by the parent or responsible adult, as it is now, and according to the existing product liability law.
