Recensioner i media

"When actor Peter Weller growled “dead or alive, you’re com­ing with me” in the 1987 sci-fi block­buster Rob­oCop, the idea of cyborg law enfor­cers roam­ing the streets was a fantasy. Now, Brit­ish mil­it­ary sci­ent­ists believe AI-powered officers like those seen in the film could become a real­ity – and have teamed up with sci­ence fic­tion writers to cre­ate a vis­ion of what that could look like."
