Oscar-winner Hilary Swank was reading an article during a recent flight that she couldn’t put down. It got her thinking about a brave new world dominated by robotics and artificial intelligence — specifically, over the question of whether robots have rights, and of how we’ll treat them when they’re as ubiquitous as smartphones are today.
