BEIJING: China’s humanoid robots will not replace human workers and cause mass unemployment, according to a Chinese official who oversees a tech hub in Beijing, amid a rapid expansion of the sector and state funding for it.
Liang Liang, a deputy director at the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, which hosts one of China’s largest tech hubs, said in an interview on Friday (May 16) with foreign media that he does not believe that humanoid robots will replace their human creators, but will boost productivity and operate in hazardous environments.
