Do you feel uneasy about the technological direction humanity is going?  Like humanity is meddling with forces beyond our feeble comprehension? From Skynet’s Terminators to the matrix in… The Matrix, Sci-Fi Pop Culture has showed  us time and again that AI sentience will ultimately have dire consequences for humanity.

In the coming decades, robots and artificial intelligence will fundamentally change our world. In doing so, they offer to many optimists the hope of a golden future.  To others, a dark dystopian look of days to come.

In this episode, we analyze the impact of robots on the labor market, people’s attitudes to robots, the impact of robots on society, and the appropriate policies our society should pursue to prepare our world for the Robot Revolution.

Should life imitate art? Will this future of household robots and universal AI integration usher in a new golden era of productivity and prosperity?  Or will our collective robo-paranoia prove to be warranted?

You decide.
