What is of prime importance here, in this field? As long as the government does replace police officers by robots, we should be good i believe.

That must never happen. Some jobs are meant to stay within the confinement of human limitations.

Robots can be programmed properly, they will not get corrupt, will not earn neither for glory nor for personal gain, all there will be to it for them would be Justice.

I miss the times when all this was just still science fiction! For a lot of us older people, well, it gives us this uneasy feeling seeing all this AI. Reading about 5G and the "Networked Society" gives me the creeps, everything everywhere all connected to one big brain, but the younger generations were born into this tech savvy world, and to them, it seems like a good thing!
