      Hi!

      So robots can determine whether some incoming information is correct or incorrect – but this isn’t really ‘deciding’ if it’s correct or incorrect, it merely classifying something as say red or not red. A robot that can decide on things and make true decisions is going to be one of the biggest breakthroughs ever made in science – so watch this space! Good question! 🙂
