How we can overcome our mistrust of robots in homes and workplaces

#artificialintelligence

Here's a question: do you consider yourself to be a trusting person? Or let me put it another way: would you put your life in the hands of a total stranger? This morning I woke up. I switched on the light -- trusting that I wouldn't be electrocuted by a faulty lamp, or cord, or socket. I prepared my breakfast -- trusting that I wouldn't be poisoned by salmonella in my factory-processed muesli.
