Robots are increasingly intelligent. Though none have gained sentience (we think) they are becoming so integrated into human teams that some people are giving them names and mourn their demise. If we feel emotions for them now, we’ll probably feel emotions for them as they mature. How we treat them, how we design them to treat us, and how we design them to treat each other is much more complex than Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws Of Robotics. For now, we control the debate, but the debate is happening slower than the maturation. If we don’t resolve the issues first, would intelligent robots make up their own minds, and then judge their and our actions on how humans treat humans?
