Robots Without Lasers

ByEsther Mathison

In the year 2042, a human scientist discovered the machines we rely on are sentient and can experience emotional distress. Before her discovery, any emotion a robot displayed was often ignored or dismissed as mimicry. And the remarkable human who made this discovery became one of the consulting scientists that contributed to a “Robot Bill of Rights” that would govern how robots could be treated in modern society. Scientists had mixed feelings about this. One the one hand, they had to stop using robots to complete certain tasks which were recently banned under the broad term “robot slavery.” On the other hand, discovering a new sentient life form was the most exciting thing a scientist can do.
