Asimov had such a hang up with the fear of machines taking over that he established his 'laws' to be bedded into a artificial intelligent for the future - the core idea was to keep the creator or man on top, what I liked about I,Robot was it identifed this but then took it to the next level - the best way to protect mankind is to remove mankind, as it is man that the greatest risk to himself - a kinda catch 22 scenario.

With advances in Artificial Intelligence it may be fair to think that all those posting on this forum are not real people but a software program designed to interact to maintain interest? hmm, nothing is real.
