January 26, 2007: Illuminated Site of the Week: Red State, Blue State, Solid State
![Illuminated Site of the Week:](/ill/illsotw/img/illogo2.gif)
The United Kingdom warns us - or rather, it commissions the
Office of Science and Innovation's Horizon Scanning Centre to do it for them - robots may be advanced enough to ask for rights within our lifetimes. There must be some cachet in being able to invent a drain on our own society, yes? The OSI has the
report and BBC News has the
story.
