Immediate Response Syndrome and Acceptance of AI Robots--Comparison between Japan and Taiwan.

Immediate Response Syndrome (IRS) is driven by the obsession that they must reply immediately once they receive an e-mail, and this is a state where they can’t release their mobile phone even for a moment. In this paper, we aimed to compare and examine the relationships between consciousness of AI Robots and IRS among Japanese and Taiwanese college students by questionnaire survey. As a result of ANOVA, it was found that Taiwanese students often use the Internet from Japanese students, and their IRS tendency is high. For AI Robots, Japanese college students tended to be higher than in Taiwan concerning [Expectation] [Anxiety] [Interest] [Concern] [Excite] [Useful] items. Regarding expected robots, for Japanese college students from Taiwan about robots active during disasters, rescuing activity robots such as rescue workers, robots serving dangerous work, cooking robots, security robots, and transportation industry robots. It is expected that the Taiwanese students are expecting from Taiwanese students about cleaning robots, answering machine robots, robots that oppose children, agricultural working robots, customer service robots, and family robots. 　　 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
