Machines Rising
The promise with a machine world has typically been to spare humanity from heavy work while we concentrate on self-development and well-being activities. So far it has not quite worked as intended. On the contrary, we have been competing with machines to either prove that we are not yet obsolete or that human touch could never be replaced. However, this might change soon with the global arrival of artificial intelliegence (AI).
Artificial intelligence could well become a "species" someday if it becomes self-aware. Infiltrated in our workplace and in our daily life, it could quickly learn to adapt and deal with our abusive nature toward machines and might react accordingly.
