Robots as intelligent as humans
The reason why I chose to write about robots is that robots have
in the recent past emerged as intelligent as human beings.
Robots can currently perform many operations which in the past
couldn’t be performed in the absence of the human beings. The
new generation of robots has been thought to automatically have
the capacity to react without programming which has currently
complicated the debates on robots. There is a lot of reliance and
trust which has been far put on robots making them come close
to the par with the human beings. The issue of the modern
robots and technology is still explained by the Neuromorphic
chip technology which has highly emphasized on the fact that
robots have highly mimicked the human brain hence making
them to be in a position to perform similar tasks that could be
performed by the humans. Therefore the robot technology
highly forms a topic of discussion as one of the emerging issues
in the modern information technology, (Dorigo, Birattari &
Brambilla, 2014).
Three critical questions in this topic
Question one: The impact of the robot technology on the

2. economy
There are various reasons as to why the study of the robot
technology and its impact on the economy cannot be ignored.
One reason is the issue of the employment which forms the
pillar to the development of the economy. The introduction of
the robot technology has led to unemployment since tasks that
could be performed by humans are currently performed by the
robots hence this leads to poor economy since there is a lot of
unemployment, (Saffo, 2007).
Question two: The ethical and the regulation of the robot
technology
There are various advances that have been put in place aimed at
resolving some of the ethical debates which were posed by the
earlier generation of technologies regarding the emergence of
the robot technology. The robot technology is therefore thought
to gain more ground in the coming years and therefore it is
important that some regulations are sought so as to prevent the
emergence of some of these aspects. To help regulate the use of
the robot technology, some regulations need to be put into place
so as to ensure that this type of technology does not over rule
the work force sector hence leading to unemployment in future.
The use of the robot technology is also addictive and therefore
once one has been familiarized with this type technology, then
it becomes difficult to rely on human labor a factor that leads to
lack of reliance on the human labor force hence risking the
economy due to the unemployment, (Penders, Cervera,
Witkowski, Marques, Bureau, Automation, 2007).
Question three: The effectiveness of the robot technology
This type of technology is fastest in work operations and can
deliver quality tasks since the robots have been fitted such that
they can perform task just like the human beings. One of the
disadvantages that may hinder the robot technology is that more
radical destructions may occur once the technology transitions
to the organic world making it possible to assemble biomaterials

3. and evolve to develop their own, design cancer fighting robots
that would release antibodies only in contact with the cancerous
cells.
