Robots take over ....
Robots taking over the world - This is one scenario that horrifies people from every corner of the world. There have also been countless movies made about this topic.
Whenever this topic comes up, I have always seen in squashed by experts who declare that being a machine that does not understand its own functioning, robots can never defeat human beings.
Well, lets think about this - What is an organism that understands very little about how it operates, doesnt always know why it does things ... Human beings of course ! We dont completely understand reproduction and genetics, but we use it to create offspring. We have no clue how our brain works, but we use it still ... Many human beings (With no formal education) have absolutely no clue how each part of their body works.
But we ridicule the robot for being a prisoner of its master - The inbuilt software program.
Are'nt we human beings a prisoner of our own brain ? We cant do anything our brain doesnt want us to do ... How do we know we arent robots ourselves ?
