Social Robots are becoming reality faster than you think, and Detroit: Become Human might have predicted our future better than any game before it. In this dive into artificial intelligence, robotics technology, and human-robot interaction, we explore how companies like Boston Dynamics, Engineered Arts, Columbia Engineering, and Open AI are racing to create androids that look, think, and feel...almost human. We're witnessing the birth of machines that may revolutionize healthcare, education, and our daily lives. But as these AI companions become more lifelike, we face critical questions about trust, consciousness, and what it means to be truly human.

Through Detroit: Become Human (2018) and science writer Eve Herold's new book Robots and the People Who Love Them, we examine whether artificial general intelligence is enough to crack social robotics' biggest challenge: can robots truly become human?
