Why are We so Scared of Robots / AIs?
Whether you're excited about it or not, robots and artificial intelligence are an inevitable part of a future that we're fast approaching. Thanks to books and films littered with rogue A.I.s and malevolent robots, some people are understandably a bit frightened by the prospect of a world overrun by such technologies. They're not alone, as many experts across fields as diverse as technology and economics are also expressing their fears over the rise of the robots. While these fears are certainly valid, it's important to note that these concerns are being voiced in the hopes that technology can be improved, not prohibited.
the technology itself, but the biases we transfer onto it. They suggested that in order to create technology that could adequately serve and protect all of mankind, it would have to be free from the biases we possess as humans. They voiced their concerns regarding security robots that can report incidences to the authorities, and whether or not these robots will be programmed with the same racial biases we see across some aspects of human law enforcement. In order to create safe technology, we first have to examine our own social ills, lest we pass them onto our machines.
while we're a long way from systems that can manage this level of intelligence, it's a worthy consideration of engineers who are creating the technologies of tomorrow. technologies, that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own fears about the advancements of A.I. and autonomous tech. In fact, he believes that A.I. could present a very real threat to the continued survival of the human race.
As recently as last month, he warned that astronomical advancements in A.I. could see human beings enslaved by machines in the future. In the documentary Do You Trust This Computer? Musk even went so far as to say he believed that superintelligent machines will emerge within the next five years. Hopefully, the concerns of Musk, and others, will be addressed, and we won't have to worry about any Skynet-esque situations any time soon. if we are to continue in our race towards better robotics and A.I., it is imperative that we consider every eventuality and plan accordingly to ensure the safety of humans. full transparency in intelligent technologies to be used in medical decision making. He warns people not to trust smart blackbox technologies without full disclosure of how they work or the deep-learning systems behind them.it's not enough merely to ensure that robots will protect human lives directly - we must teach them to protect lives indirectly too. At present, the strict goal-driven nature of programming has a multitude of blind spots, which could pave the way for risks to human lives if left unchecked
Industrial robots in factories have also been found to be vulnerable to hacking, meaning production lines and the quality of their outputs could be greatly compromised.we plan accordingly and address these fears in advance, humankind will have nothing to worry about.humans in mind, as they are instead programmed to protect and increase profit at all costs. Berleant answered similarly, worrying that A.I. could be exploited to increase the wealth of a privileged few at the expense of the many.
the gap between the upper and lower classes, as manual work is taken over by machines leaving an entire class without the requisite tools to earn a living. He's calling for greater investment in "soft skills" like communication that will set human labor apart from its robotic competitors, and make human workers more valuable. we must determine that machines have no vulnerabilities that can be exploited or corrupted. Naturally, we have a long way to go before all of these issues are addressed and laid to rest. Until then, it's important for leaders in the fields of research, science, and technology to keep speaking about their concerns and suggesting ways to improve future technologies.
