WILL 2017 MARK THE AGE OF KILLER ROBOTS?

摘要

The term "Robot" was popularized by Czech writer Karel Capek through his play Rossum's Universal Robots in which robots - principally humans with synthetic bodies - who are first deployed to manufacture low-cost goods, end up wiping the human race. Science fiction and Hollywood have endured the idea of robots trickling out of control to cause havoc onto the human race through franchises such as the Terminator and Transformers. Subsequently, hyperboles about these fears related to robots taking over the world have affected the approach towards the development of Artificially Intelligent robots, inciting severe criticism and extensive discussion in forerunner countries.
