“Some of the most exciting robotic and artificial intelligence (AI) projects that made news last year won’t make an impact for years, or possibly decades. That’s how robot-spotting goes. To follow this field closely is to watch some of the most powerful technology in human history unfold at an often maddeningly slow pace. Despite what you may have seen or read, we’re still in the opening frames of that great, era-spanning time-lapse video, the one that ends with the android underclass marching for the right to reproduce.”
