I have accepted the role as the first human assistant to a network of #AI robots and drones. We shall see where this goes but someone is going to provide a non-human element to household internal delivery. What are the complexities and legal liabilities for using drones or robotic self driving cars with delivery arms to deliver good and services? Does Amazon get the monopoly? Or can a service be deployed to assist all other retailers with brick and mortar stores to be able to compete with $AMZN in the SECURE home delivery space. Option B. - Do some war dialing and figure out how to hack the amazon system? the cybersecurity angle as well.. the robot milkman comes to your home and scans for open ports on your wifi, Bluetooth devices, can it spoil food in your fridge? etc... the money is in the first one.. the cool stuff in the second one, but that then becomes an AI provided security service.. i.e. robocop? but without the human element.. ? Do you trust a human in your home or a robot/drone via laser guarded skylight? RobotMilkman.com note to HR: just another example for How To Start a Startup in 30 Minutes.. working on the book.
