What happens when an AI-powered robot moves into your home?
Historian Emily Kate Genatowski spent one year living with an AI-powered robot roommate. This video explores her five eye-opening lessons, ranging from the chaotic and quirky to the surprisingly mundane aspects of domestic robotics.
Moving beyond the tropes of science fiction, Genatowski demonstrates that the integration of robots into daily life is a practical, albeit messy, reality that is already occurring. Her personal experiment provides a window into how these technologies impact the rhythms of a household.
The presentation highlights that the experience of living with an autonomous agent is far from polished; it involves navigating both the unpredictable and the routine, offering a grounded perspective on the near future of human-robot coexistence.
