Artificial Intelligence, what's up with that?
Never mind the movies, the comic books, the idealized new
world where robots will help us, what is really going on is:
Some people trying to create an intelligent being,
and a lot of jackasses cashing on the idea.
Yep, that's exactly what you're thinking, while high ranking scientists with stellar budgets are pursuing the creation if artificial intelligence, there are a whole joint force trying to market possible products in a less "noble" way.
The latest innovations in this market are the social-interactive robots, made to interact with humans that apparently gave up their own humanity, to say the least.
Although there are in fact many good uses of robotic technology today, like in prosthetic medicine, space missions or heavy industries, it looks like we are heading towards an idea that an intelligent robot could take the place of a human in the most humanistic of the positions, the human relationships.
So, "until death do us apart" or "until the dead battery do us apart"?
