Regarding the advances in the world of robotics and IA, we must paraphrase the title of that famous film: "When Destiny Reaches Us"... We are (and will continue to be) increasingly surprised by their progress in this eagerness to replace the human being in certain tasks. That a robot is the news reader on TV, or (as I have seen in some DW program) a therapist listening to patients (almost a psychoanalyst) seems a fact. Personally, I would prefer that these activities continue to be carried out by humans, capable of being moved by the facts. Although already in the film Blade Runner, based on the famous story "Do androids dream of electric sheep?" by Philip Dick, androids (replicants, they call them) are able to feel desires not to die, to experience hate and anger, to fall in love, and even to forgive... Thank you for your interesting post, @techblogger.
