According to studies, researchers came to the conclusion that in the next 30 years the number of robots in the world will grow to 9.4 billion units and by the year 2048, it will exceed the Earth’s population.

Futurologist Ian Pearson of Futurizon research center stated that in the future the production of robots will increase by 20 % each year. It is possible that over time the existing production technology usovershenstvuetsya so that the robot population will surpass the people even faster — just by 2033.

“Today, the number of robots in the world is about 57 million, Pearson said. In the near future this number will grow several times. Thanks to modern technology, some of them are already in 2028 will be able to feel real emotions”.

The study was done on the order of streaming channel NOW TV, following the launch of the second season of “World Wild West”. Because the subject of study is directly connected with the plot of the series, which tells about an amusement Park populated by androids, the veracity of the facts immediately questioned.

According to the publication Business Insider, Pearson right in his predictions about future technological developments are only 85% effective. The study examined the issues of prosthetics, artificial intelligence and space travel.

Previously, the problem of the humanoids spoke Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking. According to the founder of the space company SpaceX, robots with artificial intelligence is “existential risks” to humanity. Hawking, in turn, suggested that in the future robots will replace humans and we all have to leave the planet.
