McDonald’s is starting to remove people from drive-thrus and replace them with machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to a report by CNBC, the fast food chain has installed 10 AI robots at various McDonald’s around Chicago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company says it is experimenting with technology and voice commands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this is a technological advance for restaurants, it raises some concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, machines such as these can often perform the jobs incorrectly and get orders wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The McDonald’s CEO does not believe this will become the new normal in restaurants just yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“There’s a big leap from going to 10 restaurants in Chicago to 14,000 restaurants across the US, with an infinite number of promo permutations, menu permutations, dialect permutations, weather — and on and on and on,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n
