Many robots, at the industrial, home, and combat levels now exist. They are becoming more powerful almost at a Moore’s law rate of doubling capacity every 18 months. For decades now, many movies have depicted robots at more human levels. Many of these films and let’s say “philosophers of robotics” suggest robots exceeding human capacity in almost every way. One recent movie, “The Machine”, illustrates a robot vastly more powerful that humans, intellectually and emotionally, but also more human that humans. They can pass the Turing test (Imitation game*) easily. Ray Kurzweil** suggests that computer intellectual capacity will exceed humans by 2050, easily passing the Turning test, and that by 2099 clear distinctions between humans and machines will no longer exist. This is a tall order, if only considering the aspects of problems solving.*** Steven Hawking**** suggests that robots may be the next evolutionary step of humanity, and that perhaps humans have co
