Today, we use so many automated machines to fulfill our work, business and other operations. Capabilities of these machines vary from performing a repetitive task to making an intelligent decision based on human instructions fed into them. You may be surprised to hear that the evidence of use of automated machines dated back to first century A.D. or even earlier. Since then, man has developed many types of equipment as such that has reinvented the way we live our lives. These machines improve everyday with modern sophisticated technologies. Some of these main technologies we can generally categorized as computers, robotics, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and combination of all or some technologies. If we were to define a most sophisticated machine, nowadays, we can say it is a highly advanced robotic based on AI. These robotics are made of subset of computer techniques and AI which essentially means that they can make intelligent decisions without human interventions. Today, some people question that these intelligence could take over human. The notion of machines (more specifically robotics) taking over humans has been around in the news for several decades now. Mainly, many fictional writers and movie directors have talked about machines intelligent than humans in their known stories and well popular movies. Scientifically, this notion is yet a fiction or at least it is not out in public. According to scientists, robotics with human intelligence known as “4th Generation Robotics” may come true in 2040 – 2050s. At the moment, the experiments are underway with “1ST Generation Robotics” which has very less intelligence than human. Even if the 4th Generation Robotics exists in the present day, it is a big question that they will take over the humans and affect us in a negative way. However, some believe this might be a possibility in the 2012 era.
