SCI FI Announces Caprica

SCI FI Channel announced the development of Caprica, a spinoff
prequel of its hit Battlestar Galactica, in presentations to
advertisers in New York on April 26. Caprica would come from
Galactica executive producers Ronald D. Moore and David Eick, writer
Remi Aubuchon (24) and NBC Universal Television Studio.

Caprica would take place more than half a century before the events
that play out in Battlestar Galactica. The people of the Twelve
Colonies are at peace and living in a society not unlike our own, but
where high-technology has changed the lives of virtually everyone for
the better.

But a startling breakthrough in robotics is about to occur, one that
will bring to life the age-old dream of marrying artificial
intelligence with a mechanical body to create the first living robot:
a Cylon. Following the lives of two families, the Graystones and the
Adamas (the family of William Adama, who will one day become the
commander of the Battlestar Galactica), Caprica will weave together
corporate intrigue, techno-action and sexual politics into
television's first science fiction family saga, the channel announced.

I imagine the pilot will be alot like those 2 Animatrix shorts...the AI is self aware, issue about rights, humans are "racist" against them, AIs get pissed and decide to fight for their survival, rest of the series is about war between humans and the machines.
