So the big question all the critics were asking about Alex Proyas&#8217; latest effort was &#8220;Does it betray Asimov?&#8221;, which is a silly question since Asimov was a bit of a hack himself. More pertinent might be the question &#8220;Did Asimov betray robots?&#8221;, which is also something of a silly question, but one that probably leads to more interesting thoughts than the critics&#8217; dissection of tired robotic plotlines.   The Great Man&#8217;s Three Laws of Robotics (which might usefully be replaced with three laws about the use of capitalisation in grand statements) have caused far more discussion amongst AI aficionados than they should have done. AI might not be so far off as one would hope, and worryingly it looks like computer games might be the first to give us true digital friends&#8212;rumours that Proyas&#8217; next project is to be titled I, Sonic appear to be unfounded. But whether Capitalism delivers the Talkie Toastie&#174; or the Terminator first, it is unlikely that we will look to AI for servant hood and menial labour.
