Cyber ATM
This is a pretty unusual idea. Russian bank Sberbank is in
the process of developing a cash machine that can tell
when you’re lying; it has the ability to ask you personal
questions, analyse your responses and your voice (presumably
making it really hard to get cash out when you’ve had a
few), as well as scanning your retinas and fingerprints. Why
so high-tech? So that it can process complicated requests
such as loan applications that would otherwise have to be
handled by a human.
I don’t know about you, but I’d be a bit nervous about getting
a personal loan from a robot in the street…
