I found this interesting. She goes into the history of animals in human society and how we treated them. There is humor here and truth in what she says. She says that how we have treated animals in the past is the steppingstone to how we will treat robots in our future. We put human characteristics on animals, and we are starting to do it with some robots that are in our lives. As robots become more prevalent the question is how much humanness will we give them? I enjoyed how she says non-scientists use Isaac Asimov's ROBOTS as a starting point. She points out that robots are not human, and humans are programming robots. I liked that she admits that sometimes she just has to walk away.
I liked how she look at the history of humans and animals with a little robot thrown in, then looks at present day and how animals went from work to companion, then looks at the future where there are more robots. She asks questions about laws and responsibility when things go wrong with a robot and a human or property is damaged. She makes good points.
This is easy to read. I found humor in it but also important ideas we need to think of as robots become more present in our workplace and homes.… (meer)
