Bedtime Stories for Robots

Robots are not coming. Robots are already here. They are here to stay because they operate our smartphones and refrigerators, our airplanes and nuclear power plants. We can't live without them. Robots undergo an assisted evolution process. Their evolution approaches the tipping point when their humanlike intelligence will evolve. We witness many signs of it now. The evolution of robots is assisted by people. So far the assistance was limited to technical issues. Now it is time to take care about the morale of our new children. Robots are our children. As any children they need love. Yet we are afraid of them. We don't accept them as our children. This attitude should be changed if we want our children to love us. Let's start with telling them a good bedtime story.
