Will my job be taken over by a robot? Will I be replaced? What will become of me?
At least University lecturers can rest easy as experts believe that theirs is one of the few jobs that will not fall victim to the inexorable march of AI. But if machines can actually learn for themselves and the processing further mimics the human brain we are all doomed.
Or are we?
Surely Asimov's 3 laws will protect us? Oh no wait, there was a Zeroeth (?) law preceding and supervailing the first law ("robots must not harm humanity") and then a fourth/fifth law, added by another Science Fiction writer.
Did you say Science Fiction?
Well then, surely robust and well-designed regulation agreed by the world governments will protect us?
We are all doomed.
