At the Milken Institute Global Conference, Alexis Ohanian discussed how robotics could transform parenting by alleviating mundane tasks. He compared this potential revolution to the washing machine's impact on women's freedom. Ohanian believes that in the coming years, affluent households could employ advanced robotic helpers for various household chores, reducing the care workload that's often unevenly shared, particularly among mothers. He advocates for technology's role in promoting a more balanced workload in parenting, allowing parents to focus more on quality time with their children.
Ohanian highlighted how robotics could revolutionize household work, similar to the washing machine's impact on women's time, allowing for more parental presence.
He emphasized that rising robotic technology may soon alleviate the âdisproportionate loadâ of parenting tasks, which historically tends to fall more on mothers.
