SOCIAL ROBOTS
●Worldwide sales of consumer robots reached
an estimated $5.6 billion in 2018 and the
market is expected to grow to $19 billion by
the end of 2025, with more than 65 million
robots sold a year.
●Advances in AI can translate psychological
and neuroscientific insights into algorithms
that allow robots to: recognize voices, faces
and emotions, interpret speech and gestures,
Respond appropriately to complex verbal and
non-verbal cues, Make eye contact, Speak
conversationally, and adapt to people’s needs
by learning from feedback, rewards and
criticisms.

Future of Work
CHANGING EMPLOYMENT TYPES
●Nearly 50% of companies expect that automation will lead to some reduction in
their full-time workforce by 2022, based on the job profiles of their employee
base today.
●However, 38% of businesses surveyed expect to extend their workforce to
new productivity-enhancing roles, and more than a quarter expect
automation to lead to the creation of new roles in their enterprise.
●Businesses will expand their use of contractors doing task-specialized work,
with many respondents highlighting their intention to engage workers in a more
flexible manner - to utilize remote staffing beyond physical offices and
decentralization of operations.
