ROBOT CHAT SHOW TV production firm, Double Act Productions, is working on a robot chat show. When contacting the agents, the producers said: 'We're trialling a new technology that helps couples, family members or friends make key decisions by talking to a state-of-the-art robot! 'We're looking for great characters to visit London for one day to see how this technology can help them in their situation.' It is unclear which TV channel the producers are hoping to screen the show on. The producer's note continues: 'It's part of a high-profile artificial intelligence season on one of the nation's most popular and respected channels. 'It should be a unique experience for those involved and the filming will take place for a day in London in September. 'If you have any big decisions to make around health, relationships, sex or family we want to hear from you!'
TV production firm, Double Act Productions, is working on the robot chat show, according to a report in the Daily Star.
And the firm's casting producer, Kieran McCarthy, is already on the lookout for celebrities to appear on the show.
Speaking to the Daily Star, one agent who was approached by Mr McCarthy said: 'I wouldn't mind representing the robot, as unlike human hosts it would hopefully be happy with any deal I could fix.
'It sounds like it'll be fascinating daytime TV. Jeremy Kyle needs to keep looking over his shoulder, as artificial intelligence could be the future.'
When contacting the agents, the producers said: 'I wanted to share this exciting TV opportunity to see if there may be people within your group who may be interested.
'We're looking for great characters across the UK for a big new prime-time show on one of the main terrestrial channels.
'We're looking for stories where there is a dilemma or a couple, family or friends needing to make a big decision. This could be just about anything – big or small!

This isn't the first time that it has been suggested that robots will take human jobs.
In May, researchers created a website to uncover which positions are likely to be replaced by machines.
Called 'Will Robots Take My Job', the tool lets users type in their occupation and provides them with a replacement estimate and automation risk – it also reveals if 'you are doomed' or are 'totally safe'.
JOBS THAT PAY LESS THAN $20 ARE AT RISK OF ROBOT TAKEOVER There is an 83 percent chance that artificial intelligence will eventually takeover positions that pay low-wages, says White House's Council of Economic Advisors (CEA). A recent report suggests that those who are paid less than $20 an hour will be unemployed and see their jobs filled by robots over the next few years. But for workers who earn more than $20 an hour there is only a 31 percent chance and those paid double have just a 4 percent risk. To reach these numbers the CEA's 2016 economic report referred to a 2013 study about the 'automation of jobs performed by Oxford researchers that assigned a risk of automation to 702 different occupations'. Those jobs were then matched to a wage that determines the worker's risk of having their jobs taken over by a robot. 'The median probability of automation was then calculated for three ranges of hourly wage: less than 20 dollars; 20 to 40 dollars; and more than 40 dollars,' reads the report. The risk of having your job taken over by a robot, Council of Economic Advisers Chairman Jason Furman told reporters that it 'varies enormously based on what your salary is.' Furman also noted that the threat of robots moving in on low-wage jobs is, 'another example of why those investments in education to make sure that people have skills that complements automation are so important,' referring to programs advocated by President Obama.
Cashier was ranked as one of the highest at risk, with a 97 per cent likelihood and automation risk level of 'you are doomed'.
Cooks are also at the top with 94 per cent, followed by retail sales persons with 92 percent.
However, on the other side sits choreographers at 0.4 per cent, pharmacists have a 1.2 per cent chance and engineers have a 1.4 per cent chance of a robot takeover - all of which are 'totally safe'.
