Our Robot Friend …. or Foe ?

As in my prior commentary, AI is coming to be an everyday term not only from the science fiction of movies, but increasingly from the realities of our everyday lives. Many debates are in play around AI, where it can be trusted, how robust it is and the impact if may have on all our lives and job roles in the coming years. It is inherently linked to the concept of robotics and ability for a human like machine to mimic our human form and actions. AI by many is expected to bring fear and negative impact, to replace the human in many job of today and to make others lazy where affordability allows them to have machines do mundane and boring tasks for them. As the human form strives forwards for an easier more productive life AI will invariably continue to invade, be it under the cover guise of other non-AI labelled devices.
