Europe could face robot-driven riots by 2035
By 2035, Europe may experience riots sparked by widespread deployment of robots replacing human jobs, warns a new Europol report. Mass automation threatens to cause significant job losses, street protests, and targeted attacks on service robots ranging from delivery machines to medical devices.

The report highlights cybercrime risks where social robots caring for children and the elderly may be hacked, data stolen, or manipulated. Meanwhile, terrorists could exploit AI-driven drones to disrupt energy and water infrastructure.
Europol stresses that this is not science fiction but a plausible future arising from existing technologies, urging preparation for a world where conflicts between humans and machines become the new reality.
