This open access book examines recent advances in how artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have elicited widespread debate over their benefits and drawbacks for humanity.

While there has been considerable attention devoted to robotics/AI applications in each of these domains, a fuller picture of their connections and the possible consequences for our shared humanity seems needed.

The second most popular pilgrimage site in the world for Catholics used to be San Giovanni Rotondo in Italy, the town of Padre Pio, on the Adriatic Coast of Italy, across from Rome. It s hard to measure the immense popularity of this great saint. In the saint s monastery, there is a room about 15 by 20 feet, with a few tables and some desks. The room is lined on all four walls with closely packed shelves about five inches high. Perhaps you remember those thin blue airmail letters, made so thin, like onion skin, to save weight? Well, the shelves in that room are filled and packed tightly, all around, with airmail letters like that, sent to Padre Pio, to ask for advice and prayers. It was in this room that a small army of fellow monks would read and answer those letters. An astonishing sight. Imagine that he received so many letters in his lifetime! Actually, no the tour guide explained that room contained only the letters he received in a single year.
