People are more comfortable interacting with a robot if it appears female
Companies looking to replace human staff with robots at hotels, restaurants and other service industries, should consider giving them a female face, study finds. For the study, 170 volunteers were asked by experts from Washington State University in Pullman, Washington, for their thoughts on a scenario involving a hypothetical robot working in a service job - such as as a hotel greeter. The team discovered that people are more comfortable talking to a female presenting robot, especially if it has human-like features. The researchers said that in future, as well as a female face, it could be important for robots to have some degree of personality, especially if working in service jobs. Companies looking to replace human staff with robots at hotels, restaurants and other service industries, should consider giving them a female face, study finds.

What is Artificial Intelligence?
Artificial intelligence (AI) is machines that can simulate or replicate certain human cognitive functions. More specifically, AI software can affect the thinking behind decisions, create models that make decisions more efficiently, process information more quickly, and respond more rapidly to changes in the environment. For example, an AI program called Lounges can predict whether someone at the office will buy something from them based on previous purchases or whether they'll meet with a client at a specific time and place based on their social media posts. Artificial intelligence is made up of software and systems that can perform tasks that humans performed in places like Apple computers and Siri. AI has become very popular in popular culture in the last few years, being used in numerous movies and television shows.

Why machine learning and data science are important for transforming the digital lending sector - Express Computer
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a black swan event that upturned our ideas of normalcy and wreaked havoc across the globe. But a silver lining to the pandemic is the positive disruptions it created in the marketplace, which in many ways has catapulted businesses and masses into adopting digital technologies, which will drive the next phase of transformation in the digital era. The crisis has thus encouraged companies to ramp up their tech capabilities and move towards cloud-based and data-driven solutions. This tech-oriented transformation also happens to be in tandem with the government's'Digital India' vision.

Pandemic Wave of Automation May Be Bad News for Workers
When Kroger customers in Cincinnati shop online these days, their groceries may be picked out not by a worker in their local supermarket but by a robot in a nearby warehouse. Gamers at Dave & Buster's in Dallas who want pretzel dogs can order and pay from their phones -- no need to flag down a waiter. And in the drive-through lane at Checkers near Atlanta, requests for Big Buford burgers and Mother Cruncher chicken sandwiches may be fielded not by a cashier in a headset, but by a voice-recognition algorithm. An increase in automation, especially in service industries, may prove to be an economic legacy of the pandemic. Businesses from factories to fast-food outlets to hotels turned to technology last year to keep operations running amid social distancing requirements and contagion fears.
