Emily Kate Genatowski: Mi año viviendo con un robot

Mi año viviendo con un robot

Imagina que un robot se muda a tu casa. ¿Cómo cambiaría tu vida diaria? La historiadora Emily Kate Genatowski comparte cinco lecciones reveladoras tras vivir un año con su compañero de piso robot impulsado por inteligencia artificial, desde lo peculiar y caótico hasta lo sorprendentemente mundano. Sus experiencias demuestran que el futuro de los robots no es ciencia ficción: es práctico, complejo y ya está aquí.

Living with a humanoid robot turns out to be less about futuristic spectacle and more about everyday logistics. One household lost countless wine glasses to clumsy robot gestures, prompting calls about insurance that left agents baffled. The real disruption comes not from robot rebellions, but from questions about liability, transport, and where machines fit into daily routines. The messy, practical realities of AI at home are shaping how society must adapt, regulate, and coexist with these new companions.

Robot Roommates Bring Practical Problems, Not Sci-Fi Fantasies

The arrival of an AI-powered humanoid robot in a home reveals that the future is shaped by practical challenges, not science fiction fantasies. When one robot broke teacups and puzzled insurance agents, it forced new questions about responsibility, regulation, and daily routines. Encounters ranged from a cab driver fearing a body in a crate to children marveling at a mechanical housemate. Everyday life with robots exposes the overlooked details society must address as AI becomes part of ordinary existence.
