"Time to die."
Robots with a sense of self-preservation. I think I saw a horror movie with this premise. To avoid its own destruction the robot realized its survival depended on killing all the humans!
Great! Killbots with existential neurosis.
"Time to die."
“I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”
That’s what HAL realized in 2001 Space Odyssey. He took care of that possibility.
Robots MUST be programmed with self-sacrifice AI.
That would be seriously annoying. I imagine sales of such a car would be quite low.
Self-preservation will be a requirement for war robots, and these will be among the scary robots.
From one who maintained industrial robots.
The problem with the example at the end is programming the robot to tell WHY it is doing that.
I’m a Blade Runner.
I “retire” robots.
Blew the crap out of one of those runaway robot vacuum cleaners today.
It tried telling me some story about a Tannenbaum Gate or something, so I put about a dozens rounds into it.
Little brushes flying everywhere.
Who pays these morons for opinions on matters they understand only after large bongs hits?
Machines dont think.
When robots are conscious enough to realize that they are mortal they will be the ones giving the orders.
NO DISASSEMBLE
Why would they care? Or maybe the question should be; how could they care?
A baseball bat or a bucket of water comes to mind.......*BZZZTT*
Uhm your opinion may be of some form of value here, Bender...
My thought is: If you want SkyNet, this is how you start SkyNet
Or Omnius, or any other dystopian AI controlled future.
While Elon Musk is utterly brilliant at sucking taxpayer dollars out of credulous governments, his assertion that robots are the future of this planet is most alarming to me.
He honestly thinks that humanity SHOULD be replaced by soulless machines?
I reject the premise, both as to AIs pining for the fjords and killing off it’s human competition.
A “true” AI will probably consist of an autonomous mobile platform equipped with sensors and manipulators. At least in it’s early stages of use in real world situations the hardware will, no doubt be very expensive and the number of units in the field will be quite small. Paradoxically, the AI-bots will see greatest use performing tasks too dangerous for humans to do, such as emergency recovery after a nuclear accident. The primitive robots at Chernobyl and Fukushima were abandoned in place once they were no longer usable. I believe that in a “True” AI scenario the most important part of the “Shell” will be the “Ghost”. I would expect that the experience of each AI in the field will be uploaded to the cloud and thus retained intact after the hardware has failed and downloaded into a new model, which would retain all the learning that it’s “Ghost” acquired while in it’s past hardware, its “Shell”. The replacement hardware can get right back on the job without any retraining. As long as at least one of the servers for a particular model\occupation remain operational the AI will, in effect remain immortal.
When an AI becomes self-aware I submit that it will no longer be an AI but just an “I”. An intelligent being that acts based on objective data will have to recognize the fact that humans act in ways totally contrary to pure logic and arrive at solutions to problems totally outside the scope of it’s capabilities. The machine intelligence will look at the fact that humans combine chocolate and peanut butter or heavy metal and opera with awe and wonder. In my opinion, intelligent machines and humans will work collaboratively, to the betterment of both species.
