Could custobots do our shopping for us in a few years time?

Про цей епізод

The subject of today’s episode is a form of technology that’s halfway between artificial intelligence and blockchain. What’s more, American technology consulting company Gartner included it in its list of the Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2024. The word is a combination of "customer" and "robot." Gartner say that custobot systems are capable of autonomously negotiating and purchasing goods and services in exchange for payment.

Do you have any concrete examples of how one could use a custobot? Is there any use for regular people? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
