Artificial humanoids, or "bots," have been tasked with caring for the elderly in cash-strapped Great Britain's old folks homes.
Unable to afford the human touch, UK caregivers are increasingly turning to robots to look after the elderly and provide companionship.
“We want to explore to what extent they might prevent loneliness and isolation, improve mental health and reduce family caregiver stress,” stated Dr. Chris Papadopoulous, from the University of Bedfordshire.
The low-level bot artificial intelligences will be equipped with a tablet on their chests, enabling the frail and elderly to skype, tweet, email, play games, post to Instagram, Snapchat or even chat via Whatsapp while being reminded of when to take their medication.
What could possibly go wrong?
Vladimir Putin has been reelected to the Russian autocracy and is hailed by many as a new Constantine.
