University of Sheffield's Professor Noel Sharkey, a leading expert in Artificial Intelligence has suggested that the people that control the robots will control the world in the 21st century.
This was a conclusion from a report commissioned by Warner to mark the DVD release of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The report concluded that robots probably won't take over the world, but they will be the tools for the people who do.
"The robots themselves will not be super-intelligent and will not be motivated to take over themselves, but those who control the robots will control society," he said.
"But this report, based on existing research and current technological developments, suggests that robots will play a much bigger role in society … than previously anticipated”.
