Employees have more trust in robots than they do their human managers, a global study has revealed. A survey across 10 countries have found that 64 percent prefer to seek advice or guidance from artificial intelligence over their boss and 82 percent feels it does a better job. The majority of workers are also optimistic, excited and grateful about having robot co-workers and nearly a quarter reported having a loving and gratifying relationship with the intelligent-style software. The study was conducted by the US technology company Oracle and research firm Future Workplace. The team surveyed 8,370 employees, managers and HR leaders and'found that AI has changed the relationship between people and technology at work and is reshaping the role HR teams and managers need to play in attracting, retaining and developing talent.'
