The Punishment
Preventive punishment for a possible future disobedience.
Tainted with dark humor, this dystopian anthropomorphization underlines the fears that AI and robotics engenders by reactivating the myth of the creature escaping the control of its creator. At the turn of the century, questions related to man-machine relationship are popping up in everyone’s mind. How automated do we want our world to be? What physical, moral and legal framework should we use? How de we put ethics in robotics? Isn't it time to reinvent the school? Shall we rewrite a new social contract?
