From Isaac Asimov to Aimee Mann, ‘robophobia’ plagues humans
By DAN SEWELL
Associated Press
CINCINNATI — Robots
are secretly plotting to kill us.
Or enslave us. Or, at best, they
will take our jobs, one by one.
From science fiction written
by Isaac Asimov eight decades
ago to “Dilbert” cartoons today,
the relationship between robots
and humans has long fascinated
— and worried — people.
There’s even a term,
“robophobia,” for an irratio-
nal anxiety about robots and
other advanced automation
machines.
And there are concerns
beyond the ones stoked
by watching too much
“Terminator.”
Apple computer pioneer
Steve Wozniak once sug-
gested that robots would turn
us into their pets. Physicist Ste-
phen Hawking and tech entre-
preneur Elon Musk have also
warned about the dangers of
going too far, too quickly, in
developing “thinking robots”
with programmed intelli-
gence that might keep evolving
self-awareness, similar to the
humanoids in the HBO series
“Westworld.”
Hawking told the BBC in
2014 that “development of
full artificial intelligence could
spell the end of the human
race.”
So there’s that.
Researchers vary in projec-
tions on how long from now, if
ever, such a threat could exist.
For now, deaths by robot
are very rare among indus-
trial accidents. However, in
July 2015, a 57-year-old tech-
nician was killed by a robotic
machine in an Ionia, Michigan,
plant that makes auto bumpers,

play at the “Planet of Visions” exhibit at the Expoground
in Hanover, northern Germany.
trailer hitches and chrome-
plated plastics. Her husband
filed a federal lawsuit, being
contested by the defendants,
alleging a malfunctioning robot
took her “by surprise,” crush-
ing her head.

you too much in this music
video.
And Choset was amused by
a recent “Dilbert” strip about
the boss’ inability to stop a robot
worker who decided to quit.
Chris Boggess, 18, found
the 2004 movie “I, Robot,”
about a rogue killer robot
drawn from Asimov stories,
frightening, but he has come
to understand and appreci-
ate their potential through the
Butler Tech robotics program
at Colerain High School near
Cincinnati.
“The first day I walked in,
I fell in love. I knew this was
where I needed to be,” Boggess
said. “I like robots, anything
about technology.”
And if, some day, think-
ing robots acquired the abil-
ity to threaten humans, he said,
“I would probably try to make
friends with them.”

As chief technology offi-
cer for a private-public effort
to facilitate robotic solutions
in U.S. manufacturing, profes-
sor Howie Choset of Carne-
gie Mellon University in Pitts-
burgh sees the fear of robots
taking jobs making his mission
tougher.
“You have to start this dis-
cussion with the baseline that
automation and innovation cre-
ates jobs,” he said, by leading
to new products and processes
and the new jobs to make and
operate them.
“Then you have to ask your-
self, why would robots be dif-
ferent? And people are very
quick to say, ‘Well, robots
are intelligent, they do what
humans can do,’ and there’s this
fear that was sort of instilled by
science fiction.”
Comparing fear of robots
to 19th-century worries about
steam engines, Choset said:
“Robots are just the next gen-
eration of tools.”
Singer Aimee Mann, with
help from actress Laura Lin-
ney, humorously depicted the
danger of letting robots help
