The company could also test the bots in their employees’ homes for no cost. If employees aren’t comfortable with the bots in their own homes, then they shouldn’t let them loose in others’.

I personally would not want my employer putting anything with an AI or camera inside my home. That would be a non-starter. And I work for a company that uses cameras and compvis.

I don't want any of my personal life observed by my professional life and vice versa. It is bad enough that /I/ have to observe both and try not to pass judgement on myself.

CEO is also an employee and I bet they have second or third homes they would be happy to use to help their company stock price rise.
