Researchers at the German company Siemens are trying to find a way to bring a middle-ground between humans and their robot overloads. As more companies bring in automation to factories of the future, there will be a need to figure out the logistics of how to manage and distribute work to all workers, human and machine. Controlled mainly by an "AI boss," work can be assigned based on the capabilities of the employee.

I wonder how well AI-controlled HR would handle sexual harassment issues between a male worker and fembot or a robot with some bad BO.

The AI would also know some personal details about human employees, like if a worker is left- or right-handed, and what language they speak best. “The idea would be that, if we can describe all the machines and describe the skills of the workers, we are very flexible in arranging production flows,” says Michahelles.
 
Wouldn't HR (Human Resources) be renamed to RR (Robot Resources)? AR? AiR?

AiR (AI Resources) has a nice, gentle tone to it.

Well, it depends on who/what they're handling. The "Human" in HR is not because they're human, it's because the resource they manage is.

So if robot sexual harrassment also fell under their purview, they'd likely be renamed to "Labor Resources."
