Watch out! The futurists are planning to make a pact with robots to be, the machines that will be at the door in 2047 as part of the round ups:
An ethical code to prevent humans abusing robots, and vice versa, is being drawn up by South Korea. The Robot Ethics Charter will cover standards for users and manufacturers and will be released later in 2007. It is being put together by a five member team of experts that includes futurists and a science fiction writer.Stop the futurists now.
