Robot by Rodney Allen Brooks
The world is changing at an ever-increasing pace. Most of us have accepted the idea that the World Wide Web is now an important part of life and here to stay. Where will technology take us next? What is on the horizon? This text speaks to those who think about humanity's relationship to technology and our place in the world, discussing what will happen when intelligent robots become too smart.
"I have devoted my life to building intelligent robots, and these robots are just now starting to emerge from labs out in the real worldAs these robots get smarter, some people worry about what will happen when they get really smart. Will they decide that we humans are useless and stupid and take over the world from us? I have recently come to realise that this will never happen. Because there won't be any of us (people) for them (pure robots) to take over from" RODNEY A. BROOKS
