Why should we fear robots, the can be seen to be carrying out the jobs and tasks that we do not want to do ourselves. they can be seen to be making our lives safer by risk assessing dangerous situations. Outside of the armed forces they are being manufactured as helpers and are not to be feared. What we need to fear is the people who are controlling them. The humans that by the very nature of being human are open to distortion of emotions and likely to abuse the power they have. We need to fear those who use robots to try and control peoples behaviour and actions.

The question we must ask is not if, but rather when will we (humans) all be out of a job. Many work places already have robotics which carry out a large proportion of the manufacturing, analytical jobs. What are the side effects of huge job losses? Will we just create roles for ourselves that we justify as necessary? will the robots free us to think about problems in a new way, which was previously not possible.

How long has the concept of artificial intelligence been around? Well I suppose it depends on how you classify artificial intelligence. If you term intelligence by logic and the ability to reason and as a result produce a outcome, then artificial intelligence has been around for quite a while. However if we are talking about emotions, feelings and responding to these in a suitable manner then I still think robots have far to go.

Talks about how robots are projected to take over the majority of jobs by 2025, however many more creative jobs will still be open....

This is similar to what we are thinking, however I'm not sure this will come into being in 9 years time.

Australian performance artist, Stelarc, had an artificial ear surgically implanted into his arm to bring attention to the ways in which technology is blurring what is morally acceptable in terms of life. Stelarc plans to install a microphone into the prosthetic ear, thereby allowing it to “hear.”A essay by Denise Overby about the art of Stelarc. the full essay can be found here.
