Amazon has announced a partnership with MIT and research firm Ipos to study the effects of robotics and AI on human jobs. As a major employer and long-time user of robotics in its fulfillment centers, Amazon is keen to understand the impact on its workforce. While the company argues that robots reduce physical labor, critics believe they make human jobs more robotic, particularly in highly repetitive tasks. The study aims to explore employee and public sentiment towards the increasing presence of robotics and AI in industrial settings. The research will focus on human-robot interaction and effective collaboration for improved performance.
