I'm not sure
which would be worse—humans eventually becoming robots, or robots
becoming too human. What if these technological developments swing a
different direction, and instead of humans improving themselves with
robotics, robots are given human abilities like a sense of touch, a
sense of pain, and even emotional capacity through advanced AI?
Robots may replace our pre-occupation with smartphones and become
surrogate conversation partners. The movie “Her” explores this
possibility through an AI program that its user falls in love with.
If such an AI were installed in a robot that looked and smelled like
us, and was even able to tactilely touch and feel, we might see
another challenge to what constitutes a marriage. Will robots someday
be lobbying for equal rights? As robots become more and more human,
the line will be pushed closer and closer until one day, our own
creation might be governing us.
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
