If robots become equivalent to humans?


The rate at which we are moving in terms of technology, there may be a possibility that in the next fifteen to twenty years, you may see robots equipped with thinking and emotional intelligence. It has both a positive side to it as well as a negative. We are the ones making everything possible. The technology that exists today was just an imagination ten years back.

When it comes to robots, technologically we are progressing at a lightning rate. The positive is that it is for our own ease, but the concern is that are we moving so fast that we are imagining developing something which can dominate the species who created them? If a machine can be equipped with these capabilities, then humans would be just a waste on this Earth. Humans need the basic amenities to survive while all that robots need is just a source of an electrical power. Will the requirements of humans start declining after that? Will we be the slaves to our own creation?
Thinking at first, robots with thinking and emotional power one would say ‘Definitely not possible’. How can one program decision making power and emotions? But you never know what next is coming. We might witness a different world in the years to come. All we can do is just wait and watch.
