The AI Dilemma: The Perfect World Or The Perfect Storm?

I have spent the last three years researching with Malay Upadhyay the positive and negative risks of artificial intelligence. One area in particular to be alert to is the evolution of robots to cobots. Cobots are smaller robots performing more service oriented and monotonous tasks freeing up more operator time to be able to handle more complex or creative tasks. Cobots are robots designed to function beside a human in a shared workspace, and given close working proximity to humans, cobots have particular strict security measures for co-habitation with humans. Recent MIT Research has also found that when humans work in tandem with robots, humans are 85 percent more productive than when either worked alone.
