desire to make artificial intelligence, robots, mechanical tools and newer technology comes from the same source that made humans invent slavery. Machines are more efficient than slaves though. Machines do not talk back, fight back or have dreams. Slavery began not with the agricultural revolution, but even before when even hunters and foragers realised that they could outsource hard work.

The word robot is traced to the Slavic word for forced labourers i.e., slaves. Slaves have existed in all parts of the world. Names have been different. Techniques to enslave been different. Some used threats of violence. Some told stories — God told you to follow the occupation of your father, nothing else, was the story told in Hindu scriptures. The gods created slavery for their own pleasure, said Mesopotamian mythology. Women have to serve women, said Biblical myths.
