Don't get me
wrong, I'm all for the use of robots in our lives--I even own two
cleaning robots for my home and am thankful I no longer have to
vacuum. But robot AI is becoming increasingly more sophisticated, so
much so that we might one day see people (and robots themselves)
lobbying for robot equal rights. People may even want to marry robots
someday! If you think this is preposterous, think again: there are
already robots that are being developed to be very realistic female
companions. Movies like "Her" and "Ex Machina"
address these trends. Regarding AI, people like Elon Musk are
extremely concerned about the current unrestricted path the
development of artificial intelligence is taking. We need to prepare
now, because in ten, maybe twenty years, our society is going to be
very, very different. The robots are coming, but will our laws
facilitate or restrict their impact on our civilization?
