Robots will “know” your gender and personality with one handshake — will the Alt-Left have them destroyed for their “binary” judgments?

Researchers in Paris are reportedly developing robot technology that can determine gender based on the human touch. The emotional robot project, within which initial handshake experiments are supposedly correct about gender 75 percent of the time, is under development by the ENSTA ParisTech research team at the Universite Paris-Saclay. Based on the findings, female-to-male handshakes involve less pressure […]

38% of U.S. jobs may be quickly taken over by robots… what will the political elite do with all the unemployed humans?

A study by accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers claims that robots and artificial intelligence could take over two of every five jobs in America within about the next 15 years. The results also suggest that technology will displace both white-collar and blue-collar workers, which could push wages downward. Employees in the finance, insurance, hospitality, manufacturing, food service, and transportation […]
