The problem posed by Hume's Induction Paradox -- all the way from 19th century Scotland appears to have halted -- permanently terminated the idea of an executive and intelligent robot for mankind.
Arguably not a bad thing that -- as it isn't like we would build an agricultural robot called a Germinator or a hairdressing robot called a Periminator or a medical dermatology robot called a Derminator -- no lets be honest about it -- before you could buy the licensing rights from Arnold Schwarzenegger -- the Terminator would be rolling off the production line.
The actual paradox itself -- like many of the issues from 19th century and older philosophy from Kant, Darwin etc can be easily solved by massive computation with reference to chaos theory and complexity and our enormous reserves of physical data that we have accumulated about the world that is now instantly available for research.

Last time I checked out Artificial Intelligence -- it hadn't actually solved this paradox but had somehow allowed the actual Induction paradox to be renamed in use in other aspects of AI -- I think it is called Kolmogorov 'Theatre paradox' somewhere.
Good way to bury insoluble problems that -- just rename them.
The fact is though that these old paradoxes are NOT insoluble and generally all of them can be solved with reference to the CONTEXT.
Shame really that the current scientific paradigm is actually based on decontextualisation and reductionism -- which would explain the total lack of unity in physics from Einstein and the irrational nature of the logical and computational paradoxes noted by Turing and Goedel.

I actually worked out a way to produce the alleged 'holy grail' of Artificial Intelligence -- overcoming the Induction paradox and other problems produced by infinity in computation.
If you do a search for Artificial General Intelligence you will find that its allegedly a cutting edge military and industrial concern -- but quite obviously the handicapped nonsense of public domain science is way way behind the forefront of real interstellar technology on this planet.
My own contribution to the knowledge base of mankind has been around officially since 1991 and 2011 marked 20 years of it having been out there

I am available for talks and discussions and can be contacted through my talks website at http://www.ufospeaker.com

I don't however anticipate anytime soon being asked to discuss this material anywhere -- at least not since I discovered that the Secret School of the Theosophical Society actually teach part of systems theory I describe wrapped up in ancient Hindu jargon . You can see some evidence of this from the 'public consumption' volumes called the Secret Doctrine by HP Blavatsky in volume 1 where it refers to 'Logos, Outpouring and Vehicles'.
All of that material I saw that had written on it by a former member in 1923 in green ink 'in the event of my death please destroy' -- worse than that though was the obscurity of the broom cupboard that would follow. Perhaps the writings of Bulwer Lytton about the Vrilya under Tibet with their mind- machine interfaces and UFO's also spotted by Nicholas Roerich were very close to the truth about the advanced beings on and under our Earth.
For mankind though -- the doorway to Startrek realities appears barred.
