Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Bots, drones, computer programs, etc., are eerily taking on more human characteristics.  Technology is perfecting artificial intelligence (AI) that anticipates human reactions to situations.  These machines think.  Many times we don't even realize we're interacting with a machine as opposed to a human.  Wait.  The annoying computer voice of Siri is still a dead give away.  Just give it a little more time and Siri will be cooking you breakfast.  I don't think the movie Terminator was so far off the mark after all.  We are closer than you think to robo-soldiers.  The man-machine is no longer science fiction.  

All of this technological innovation is deemed so advanced and cutting-edge.  Governments are competing with each other as to whom can perfect it first.  The scary part will be when what we developed to protect us decides to turns against us.  

Then who will the enemy really be?
