To quote for the article: “About one third of young Canadians would prefer to work for a robotic boss rather than for a flesh-and-bone one, a new study has revealed. According to a survey carried out on 2299 people by Vancouver-based consultancy Intensions and futurist activist Nikolas Badminton, 31 percent of Canadians aged 20 to 39 think that a computer program would be better at hiring, assessing and managing its employees. The figure for the general population of all age ranges is still quite high, with 26 percent being in favor of 'robo-bosses'. “
