This is a really interesting take, as someone who is into technology I always found the concept of robots interesting however exploring the application of robots to be quite frightening. Over the course of history humans have a nasty habit of taking things too far, which as you mentioned could be the use of robots in warfare. It could also be the use of robots as police or informants. The being said there are plenty of positive applications for robots also like helping those with disabilities. In most applications the self determination of the robots is never considered and we inch closer to artificial intelligence forming connections in the same manner our brain does. Perhaps we might see new “robot rights” come into legislation!
