How about at first if we put camera on it and then someone from overseas checks around before performoning the task? for cheap but it can make it secure.
Anyway, if we're going to fake smart robots this way, why not just honestly call it what it is? Remote household staff. Might as well give them better sensors and actuators, but I guess this is giving humans too much agency and risk; what if the operator decides to hurt the "robot" owners or something? The vendor would not have that. Cannot have that. Humans are too messy to deal with.
Or is this the short-term future of all automation? I look at my robotic vacuum cleaner now, occasionally pausing for a second or two while it figures out where to go, and I wonder - maybe in those moments, it's using some Protein Intelligence Chip to query a bunch of random humans somewhere?
They are actually controlled by "robot operators" in Estonia, though officially it's "AI".
That being said, every day it's getting a little bit better.
Estonians are fast learners!
