Tech Company Needs Your Face for Line of Assistant Robots

A tech firm is looking for the right person to lend their likeness to a new line of robot assistants for the elderly.

The line of bots will be used as ‘virtual friends’ to elderly people once rolled out. They are set to be manufactured some time next year. The company needs a “kind and friendly face” to be the actual face of their robots. That lucky person will rake in roughly $130,000 for the privilege.

So if you want to be the face of the robot uprising and the end of humanity as we know it, go ahead and register for the chance to be that ‘face.’

Tech firm will pay you £100,000 to use your face on its robots

The idea of lending your face to a robot may sound like the plot from an episode of Black Mirror , but it could soon become a reality. An unnamed robotics firm is searching for the human face of its new robots – and will even pay the successful applicant £100,000 for the privilege.
