Robot apocalypse is nearer than we imagine, according to Europol.
If we may adapt two old sayings: ‘just because the liberals are constantly crying wolf, it does not mean that the wolf will never come’.
Take, for example, the European obsession with constantly keeping the population in a panic with dystopian scenarios.
While we are constantly dodging these catastrophic hoaxes, it is also true that every now and then, one of these scenarios may strike differently.
A new report by the European Police (Europol) warns that, in a decade, ‘angry mobs of unemployed citizens will riot in the streets against the hordes of service robots that have stolen their jobs’.
Swarms of enemy drones attacking electricity and water supplies, law enforcement combatting rogue robots… dystopian, but so close to out reality.
The Telegraph reported:
“The 48-page Europol document details how law enforcement will need to tackle robots and unmanned systems (drones, satellites and remote-controlled boats) in a dystopian vision of the future.”
