Hmmm..the emergence of a new species?
But a species based on silicon instead of carbon.

Korea Unveils World's Second Android
Korea has developed its own android capable of facial expressions on its humanoid face, the second such machine to be developed after one from Japan. The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy invited some 60 children to the Kyoyuk Munhwa Hoekwan in Seoul to introduce Ever-1 to the public. The name combines the first human name found in the Bible, Eve, with the "r" in robot.

The Korean Institute for Industrial Technology (KITECH) said the android, which has the face and body of a woman in her 20s, is 160 cm tall and weighs 50 kg. Ever-1 can move its upper body and “express” happiness, anger, sadness and pleasure. But the robot is still incapable of moving its lower half. Ever-1's skin is made from a silicon jelly that feels similar to human skin. The face is a composite of two stars, and its torso on a singer.

The 15 monitors in the robotic face allow it to interpret the face of an interlocutor and look back at whoever stands near it. Ever-1 also recognizes 400 words and can hold a basic verbal exchange. ........

Imagine walking down the street and bumping into one, saying excuse me, then realizing it was a bot? Id probably become angry I wasted  my time on it, thinking it was himan when it was just a walking toaster with a pretty smile. It probably tear it limb from limb.

Only 400 words? They should have given her blonde hair!

On a side note, I wonder if they've coded a gag reflex....
