1. What are your first thoughts about these drones? Do they make you feel safe or uncomfortable?

2. What other things do you think this collective thinking technology could be used for? Can you think of good and bad uses?

3. In the future, do you think humans will fight wars or will only machines fight? Which scenario do you think is better?

4. Would you watch a sport played only by robots? Why or why not? When sports players retire, they often have many injuries of their bodies and brains. Would robot sports be safer?

5. What new robots are being used in your country? These could be personal or business types of robots. PLEASE RESEARCH THIS.

6. Do you think artificial intelligence will solve the human problems of pollution, space travel, war, famine, etc.?
