There is an interesting article in
Rolling Stone about AI and its application alongside robotics:

Well worth the reading. What I find most interesting about the whole AI debate is how, aside form the blah-blah woof-woof about a possible SkyNet scenario, the concepts of philosophy and morality are creeping ever more into the discussion. The concepts have long been bubbling under the surface, but now, as AIs and their applications become more sophisticated and "human", we have the question of, having created Frankenstein's Monster, do we give it a "soul" and, if so, what kind of "soul"...
