Will Robots Change Our Identity?

Last week I had my first radio interview, thanks to a referral by Ron Munson. I was on a program (together with another guest) by Nevada Public Radio on whether robots are changing our identity and related issues, such as whether robots are likely to take over the world (as several people have predicted). I think we don't have positive reasons to think they will—at least not yet. The mp3 file is here.

      The radio interview went well I thought. My favorite part was when you made the comment that our robots could remind us when it was time for exercise. "Ok up and at 'em humans time to get that blood flowing". It does sadden me however to think that this situation is one that will most likely play out if and when we have our robotic planners.
