Inequality In The Robot Future

"Robots will likely be sentient because the easiest way to get a human intelligent robot is to take human brain, slice it apart and copy all of the connections into an electronic format."

What in the actual fuck is this guy talking about?

Anyway, I believe our "robot future" poses huge economic problems we are currently not ready to deal with, but I don't think robots being economically marginalized is the primary concern or even in the top 1,000 problems that we may have to worry about then.
