Educational Robotics Market to Reach $4 Billion by 2028

The need for robotics in education will help drive double-digit annual growth worldwide through 2028, according to a forecast from Emergen Research.

The research firm estimates that the market for educational robotics technologies, including software and professional development, will grow at a compound annual rate of 17.9%, reaching $4.02 billion in global expenditures in 2028.

Among the highlights:

  • Humanoid robots will see a compound annual growth rate of 17.4% during the forecast period;
  • The Asia Pacific region accounts for the greatest share of the market, owing largely to the adoption of artificial intelligence in educational settings; and
  • Drivers for the adoption of robotics in education include government policies encouraging their adoption; consumer adoption of smart devices; and the need for AI-based tutors; and increasing need for more stringent professional development for teachers.

    California AI Watermarking Bill Garners OpenAI Support

    ChatGPT creator OpenAI is backing a California bill that would require tech companies to label AI-generated content in the form of a digital "watermark." The proposed legislation, known as the "California Digital Content Provenance Standards" (AB 3211), aims to ensure transparency in digital media by identifying content created through artificial intelligence. This requirement would apply to a broad range of AI-generated material, from harmless memes to deepfakes that could be used to spread misinformation about political candidates.
