Should we fear robots?
If it has AI, does a robot have a creative mind?
Will there be a purple bag for robotic waste?
In an increasingly robotized society, we explore and discover new technologies. Although robotics and artificial intelligence can help both humans and nature, they often generate fear because they threaten to overpower us. History teaches us that technology has the power to strengthen economic growth and transform societies. More than ever, this will be the case with the emerging robotics and artificial intelligence. The applications are ubiquitous: from robots in the factories to the conversion of people into cyborgs, from self-driving vehicles to killerbots.
