Robots add real value when working with humans, not replacing them
May 30, 2:00AM
In the popular media, we talk a lot about robots stealing jobs.

Issues of jobs and income inequality fade away, for example — there aren’t remotely enough robots to affect more than a handful of us in the practical sense. Read More 
Human obsolescence: Are we ready for an artificially intelligent future?
May 29, 11:00PM
“Enjoy your com-FORT-able stay,” says a robot front-desk clerk at Japan’s Robot Hotel. Do you thank the robot for its awkward salutation?
