AI and humans will become 'extraordinarily attached' as they become part of the family

Humans will come to love robots like they are'family' rather than fear them as the enemy, according to a leading Oxford University scholar. Sir Nigel Shadbolt says we are entering an age where AI will act as a carers for the elderly and a friend for lonely children. He claims that fears robots will turn on people and destroy humanity are unfounded. Robots will become beloved members of the family, not the enemy of humanity, claims leading Oxford University scholar. Sir Nigel, a professor of computer science at Oxford University, made the comments at the Hay Festival in Wales.
