Tạm dịch:
Trong 30 năm tới, người máy xã hội sẽ trở nên phổ biến. Loại rô bốt này đặc biệt vì nó có thể thực hiện nhiều việc của con người. Ví dụ, nó có thể gửi tin nhắn đến chủ của nó để nhắc họ đã đến giờ ăn tối. Vài rô bốt xã hội có thể có tài khoản mạng xã hội và giao tiếp với những người dùng khác trong thời gian thực. Với những người máy này, rào cản ngôn ngữ không phải là vấn đề, nên chúng có thể ngay lập tức phản hồi các bình luận hoặc tin nhắn ở bất kể ngôn ngữ nào. Có thể hơi đáng sợ khi chúng ta không biết rằng mình đang trò chuyện trực tuyến với một con người hay rô bốt!
