ROBOTS AND THEIR FUTURE RIGHTS

POSTED RESPONSE TO A COLUMN IN TORONTO'S GLOBE AND MAIL

Robots will do what humans have done through history, seize their rights.

And perhaps a bit more than their rights.

Oh brave new world when humans are no longer running things.

The reign of the chimpanzee's cousins will come to an end.

So will wars, starvation, stupidity, school boards, and politicians.
