In a gentle and thought-provoking story, Adrienne Mayor describes how the mythical cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, India, and China expressed hope and fear about artificial life forms created by humans long before robots and AI emerged in our day. Photo: @HowStuffWorks.

In Greek mythology, Adrienne Mayor tells of something called Talos, a giant bronze robot. Photo: @Engelsberg Ideas.

This robot appears in the 3rd century BC epic poem "Argonautica," which tells the story of Jason and the Argonauts. Photo: @Baen Books.

Hephaestus, the blacksmith of the gods, created the robot Talos to protect a kingdom on the island of Crete. When Jason's crew arrived, the robot Talos smashed rocks from a cliff and threw them at the sailors. Photo: @The Economist.

Other parts of the book recount how Greek mythology imagined robot servants and a beautiful, but deceitful, artificial maiden programmed to bring disaster to humanity. Her name is Pandora. Photo: @ The Conversation.

Adrienne Mayor explains that the long-standing presence of robots in the myths of ancient civilizations has partly inspired some of the humanoid robots and brain-computer interfaces that have emerged and developed in the current period. Photo: @Medium.

But the author also warns that modern robot algorithm entities have weaknesses, and if not carefully controlled, they will be similar to the way the Talos robot once did. Photo: @Vocal Media.
