this is not cgi. this is something that we can touch. it's something real right now, and it's in cornwall. from supermarket checkouts to self—driving cars, the age of automation is here. machines like ameca are meant to give it a human face in the future, you'll see these more and more in service robot—oriented tasks, so it could be giving you information. it could be checking you in for your flight or a hotel, or it could be giving you a ticket in theatre. a recent government report concluded that jobs lost to new technologies should be cancelled out by the number of differentjobs created by new technologies. but surely ameca couldn't do something like end a tv news report? ameca, bbc spotlight, falmouth. oh, you're a one—take wonder! it will never happen here, i hope!
