Should We Fear The Rise Of The Robots?

Should We Fear The Rise Of The Robots? - Forbes: "In the real world, we have our own version of Judgement Day called the Singularity and many can’t wait for it to come.  Like in the Terminator, it is the moment when computers take over, but rather than killing us off, the machines enhance our capabilities.



Some have called the Singularity a nerd rapture and its prophet is Ray Kurzweil, one of the world’s foremost experts on artificial intelligence and Google’s new Director of Engineering.  In his new position, he will direct a good portion of the company’s $6.7 billion R&D budget to making his vision come true.  Like it or not, science fiction is becoming science fact."
