▶ Living Machines – The Rising of the Robot

“Robots are the lovechild of computers and power tools…” narrates Linda Hamilton, veteran of the Terminator movies 1 & 2. The actress who has spent a considerable amount of time being terrorized by robots, gives voice to an interesting documentary on human/robot interaction; Living Machines-Rising of the Robots.

As you’ll see in the documentary, robots are saving people from the three D’s; jobs that are dirty, dangerous or dull. Robots are flying to other planets, communicating vital information and deactivating bombs. They are sentinels who never tire and may be the only way to colonize other planets.

But even the eminent physicist Stephen Hawking is not convinced Asimov’s Law of Robotics will be sufficient to protect us from the dangers of robotic intelligence. When interviewed by the BBC, Hawking said, “The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.”

So, will robots save us or destroy us?
