It seems as though at some point in the near, near future, AI and robotics developments will synch. Right now, robotics and AI being developed separately as if one is hardware and the other software.
But within a few years, everything will be focused on shoving as much AI into the noggins of androids. Once that link up is established, then, THEN some pretty wild things are going to happen.
That will be the moment when the Holy Grail of AI Robotics will be creating something akin to the “more human than human” Replicants of Blade Runner. That, I think, is going to be the gold standard, the thing we all hear way too much about — “Who is going to come out with the first AGI Replicant?”
Given how fast things are going, I suspect it may be around 2030 when real-life androids look and act like the Replicants of Blade Runner. That is going to bring up a whole host of problems — chief amongst them being: when are we going to start to take android emancipation seriously?
But that is all very, very speculative.
