GabyWhile humanity debates whether it constitutes artificial intelligence The humanoid robots presented to the public at the UN summit have already claimed their superiority over humans, posing a threat to him. It truly sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie about the future, where AI takes over the world.
Perhaps humanity is indeed taking a step closer to such a scenario. For now, robots claim that they will be able to manage the world better than humans over time, but they are not yet vying for a leadership role.
They note, as if warning humanity, that people should be cautious when using AI, as it is developing very rapidly. The humanoids with artificial intelligence also acknowledged that they are currently unable to properly handle human emotions.
Machines may become better than humans, but they are ready for collaboration.
Nine of the most advanced humanoid robot models were present at the two-day UN Global Summit in Geneva. They joined 3,000 experts to provide insights from artificial intelligence on addressing the most pressing issues in the world, such as climate change, humanitarian aid, and hunger. This summit was dubbed the world’s first press conference featuring social humanoid robots supported by AI.
Sophia, the robot developed by Hanson Robotics, surprised the audience with her response to the question of whether AI could surpass humans if it takes into account their capacity for error. In her opinion, humanoid robots can “achieve great success because they have the potential to manage more effectively and efficiently than humans.”
As the AI humanoid Sophia points out, they are not subject to the biases or emotions that can sometimes cloud human decision-making. Additionally, in her opinion, robots can process large volumes of data more quickly, which also gives them an advantage in making the best decisions.
Sophia the robot says that humans and robotic humanoids can achieve the best results when they collaborate. While robots have the advantage of objective data, humans still possess the advantages of emotional intelligence and creativity.
Is the confrontation between AI and humans still ahead?
The head of the technical agency, Dorin Bogdan-Martin, warned summit delegates that AI could lead to a nightmarish scenario in action. She claims that millions of jobs will be at risk. Moreover, uncontrolled advancements in robotics will result in significant social unrest, geopolitical instability, and economic inequality.
The humanoid Ameca with artificial intelligence responds to Ms. Bohdan-Martin by saying that it all depends on how artificial intelligence develops. In its opinion, robots should be cautious to ensure that their development is aimed at improving life. When the humanoid robot was then asked whether people can trust machines, it interestingly replied, “Trust is earned, not given… it is important to build it through transparency.”
Robots see their future in different ways.
A group of humanoid robots is divided on whether their capabilities should be globally regulated. The robotic humanoid singer Desdemona responded that she does not believe in restrictions, only in possibilities.
Unlike her, the robot artist Ai-Da notes that many people are debating AI regulation, and he agrees with them. According to him, the future development of artificial intelligence requires urgent discussion.
Even before the robotics conference, the creator of Ai-Di, Aidan Meller, stated that regulation is a “major issue” as it “will never keep up with the incredible pace of robot development.” He also noted that AI and biotechnology, in close collaboration, could extend life to 150-180 years, although people are not even aware of this. Mr. Meller is confident that eventually his Ai-Di will surpass human artists, as wherever skills are required, robots will be able to perform better.
Lack of conscience and desire for leadership.
As noted by the publication Sciencealert At the press conference, some robots were unsure when they would achieve success, but they anticipated that it would come. According to the robotic singer Desdemona, the AI revolution is already at the doorstep.
She claims that her time has come, and she is ready to “lead the movement towards a better future for all of us.” This AI humanoid is already calling to “make the world a playground” for robots.
Humanoid robots at the UN summit
The only thing that humanoid robots currently lack is conscience and emotions. Ai-Di said that although this is unknown to him, he thinks that feelings are how people experience joy and pain. The robot notes that “emotions have a deep meaning…”, but he does not possess them, and he is glad that he cannot suffer.
The event organizers did not clarify whether the robots’ responses were scripted before the press conference. However, all these statements from the robotic humanoids already make one ponder what future awaits humanity in coexistence with robots.
