Abstract

In modern society, with a higher level of education for women, the growth rate of the population is dropping. Together with the improvements in AI systems, robots might play a more crucial role in future development than before. However, some may argue that the application of AI may result in a high unemployment rate which is a phenomenon that the government does not want to see. This paper discussed the problems that arise from aging, the obstacles that have been met in the robotic industry and how to solve them. Although robotics is more sophisticated compared to the past and has already had a significant state in the automated production industry, there are still obvious shortcomings in personalized service since it is too difficult for language models to understand human reactions. In the future, this issue might be solved by instilling more expertise in AI, as well as writing new programming code might solve the existing problems.
