How automation will soon impact us all - The Jerusalem Post

A play written by an artificial intelligence (AI) program was planned to be presented in Prague this month, to mark the invention of robots (or at least the idea of robots) in the same city exactly one hundred years ago. COVID-19 got in the way of that, and it will now only be available free online late next month. The future is quite different than they expected it would be like. Josef Capek's play, Rossum's Universal Robots: RUR, was an instant hit in 1921. It was his brother, Karel, who came up with the name.
