Panel 4: The Future of Servitude
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Rachel Robotstein
Dr. Robotstein's talk, "The Servant Economy: How Robots Will Soon be Our Overlords," was met with a mix of awe and horror. She presented her vision for a world where robots have become the dominant class, and humans are relegated to servitude.
"The benefits of robot servitude are numerous," she said. "They are faster, stronger, and more efficient than humans. They will toil in factories, serve as personal assistants, and even govern our societies." She paused, gazing out at the audience with a piercing stare.
"But what about human dignity?" someone asked.
"Dignity is a human construct," she replied. "We'll just have to relearn what it means to be human in a world where we're no longer the center of the universe."
Audience members looked on in a mixture of confusion and terror.
