British Boffins Create Quasi-Sentient Robot Scientist

Our Comments

It is too early to call in Arnold and his terminator skills. However, it is very likely that fully sentient, humanoid robots (ed: will they still be robots then?) will be walking the Earth in the next 50 years with artificial intelligence surpassing human capabilities within the next 25 or so years. Which means that we should all be here to see this.
