Increasingly humanized A.I. establishes widespread trust in technology

Implications - In today’s culture of digital migrants raising digital natives, there is not only an increasing reliance on hyperconnectivity, but also a shift towards endearment and full acceptance of technological presence within the roles of caretakers and safety providers. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly humanized, we begin to recognize a spreading of unquestionable trust in technology as part of the home, and even as part of the family.
Workshop Question - How can your brand adapt a more humanized approach in designing its products/services, or in how it sells them?
Trend Themes
1. Endearment in Technology - As technology becomes increasingly humanized, it becomes more endearing to people, leading to the creation of robots and devices that look cute and friendly, such as Zenbo and iPal.
2. Smart Parenting with Technology - Technology is helping busy parents with tasks that they cannot perform at that moment, with the introduction of devices like AvatarMind iPal for babysitting, NoomiNoomi for rocking babies to sleep, and Joey Tag wearable GPS to keep children safe.
3. Robots for Safety - Robots are used to augment safety, such as the Amphibious Joint Lifeguard UAV and the AvatarMind iPal, which monitor beaches and children's movement, respectively.
Industry Implications
1. Robotics Industry - The robotics industry has many opportunities to create robots that can perform human tasks, such as babysitting and lifeguarding, and in a friendly manner.
2. Childcare Industry - With the introduction of child-tracking wearables and robotic companions, the childcare industry has an opportunity to utilize technology to improve the care of children.
3. Internet of Things Industry - The Internet of Things industry can build on the idea of automation with the creation of devices that can augment and improve human safety and lifestyle, such as the NoomiNoomi and the Anthouse Robot Pet Companions.
