I read an interesting article recently (actually several) about new developments in robotics technology and AI. Specifically, I've learned that human beings are slowly but surely losing out to computers in age-old strategy games, such as chess and checkers. You can read the article here.
I am, of course, wary about the inevitable robot revolution that is sure to come, but I take comfort in one fact. Man can still triumph over machine in the game of poker.
Let's all be careful with these robots, ok? I've read way too many "I, Robots" and seen way too many "Terminators" and "Matrix" movies to feel like we haven't been warned well ahead of time.
