Almond Strowger was an undertaker. When a good
friend passed away, the family didn’t call him for help with
the burial.
Something was up.
Strowger discovered the town’s phone operator was married to his competitor. She was sending
his clients to her husband.
Strowger was ticked.
So he invented a “robot” that made
it possible for people to call each other directly.
Without an operator’s help.
“I think the development of full artificial intelligence could spell
the end of the human race.” —Stephen Hawking
The first law: A robot may not injure a human
being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Robots are being tested in retail, fast food, hotels,
accounting firms, law offices, and operating rooms.
350,000 robot-assisted surgeries performed every year in the US:
cardiothoracic colorectal
gynecologic ENT
Robots are doing art history. Robots can rap.
Robots write news articles. Robots compose music.
And critics called it “delightful.”
