Abstract
For more than 80 years, science and science fiction have been addressing the need and significant challenges of achieving truly autonomous machines that can act on their own. From the 1927 depiction of Maria in “The Eyes of the State,” to Gort in “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” to more semi-recent versions, HAL 9000 in “2001: A Space Odyssey,” “Terminator,” and Sonny from “I, Robot,” the world has been fascinated, amazed, amused, and terrified at the thought of robots intertwined in our existence. These creative depictions of artificially intelligent “robots” were supposedly capable of thinking, reasoning, learning, and making decisions. Unfortunately, the notion of a machine, run solely by software, no matter how sophisticated and creatively plausible, has continuously been met with significant theoretical, physical, and social challenges. Some would say, “troublesome” at its very core.
