A new BBC interview of Rodney Brooks is out. The focus is on whether or not continued research into robotics is worth the potential risks. Brooks suggests that robots taking over the world is not one of those risks and that the reason robots are scary is that they teach us more about ourselves. "Every technology, every science that tells us more about ourselves is scary at the time".
