In "The New Breed," MIT's Kate Darling reframes our robot future through our animal past. Harvard's Lawrence Lessig calls it "extraordinary" - challenging the replacement narrative with a provocative question: What if robots, like animals, are meant to be our companions rather than our substitutes?

What if our greatest fear about robots isn't really about robots at all? When factory worker Wanda Holbrook died in 2015 after a malfunctioning robot struck her, headlines screamed about machines turning deadly. When Oxford researchers predicted half of US jobs could vanish to automation, panic spread. Yet these fears miss something crucial: we're asking the wrong questions entirely. Instead of obsessing over whether robots will replace us, we should be asking how they might partner with us-much like animals have for millennia. This shift isn't semantic wordplay; it fundamentally transforms how we design, regulate, and live alongside increasingly sophisticated machines. Rather than viewing robots as proto-humans destined to surpass us, what if we saw them as a new species with complementary abilities? This reframing dissolves our Frankenstein anxieties and opens possibilities we've barely begun to explore.
