Brave New Robot World

There's been a lot of debate recently about AI possibly being the end of humanity. Many envision a Terminator or The Matrix type future but in reality it may be more like Wall-E.

Think about it. We could soon have self-driving AI powered cars with robots bringing us our packages and food deliveries. We could even have AI driven stories with dead actors recreated by computers to entertain us. Not to mention the sex robots that would cater to our every wish. 

We could simply die off by having all our needs met.

That's the future we need to wary of.
