The line must be drawn this far, no farther
Oh the Borg. Who would have thought it would happen in our life time. And probably should have guessed google would be involved somehow.
In all seriousness this is very disturbing. What kind of penalties will a robot inflict for mistakes, failure to meet quota, late by 3 milliseconds, etc. I'm in IT but the way I advocate for technology in society is that the thinking and decisions should be left to humans, and the heavy lifting for the machines.
I don't like the idea of any machine supervising me, particularly one that I didn't program. Someone said that the robots will be working for humans, but how has that helped us in the past. If the human doesn't really care about the workers when he has direct contact with other humans, what will make him care about them if he now has to deal with a robot.
And any further advancements in such a field could yield other issues, like the borg or worse, skynet.
