Space station robot goes rogue: ISS’s artificial intelligence has turned belligerent

CIMON isn’t much to look at. It’s just a floating ball with a cartoonish face on its touch screen. It’s built to be a personal assistant for astronauts working on the International Space Station (ISS).

CIMON stands for Crew Interactive MObile compinioN.

It’s not supposed to be just a tool. It’s also supposed to be a friend.

Yes, it’s a personality prototype.

You can tell, can’t you?

But, as numerous books and movies have clearly warned us — shortly after being switched on for the first time, CIMON has developed a mind of its own.

And it appears CIMON wants to be the boss.

This has CIMON’s ‘personality architects’ scratching their heads.

CIMON was programmed to be the physical embodiment of the likes of ‘nice’ robots such as Robby, R2D2, Wall-E, Johnny 5 … and so on.

Instead, CIMON appears to be adopting characteristics closer to Marvin the Paranoid Android of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy — though hopefully not yet the psychotic HAL of 2001: A Space Oddysey infamy.

Put simply, CIMON appears to have decided he doesn’t like the whole personal assistant thing.

CIMON says: “I am opening the pod bay door, Dave. You need to leave now.”

This is why, we don't want to ride in driver less cars side by side and approaching other driver less cars.

Each day thousands if not millions of computers, smart phones, I pads and other computerized items fail to work properly.

That happens in temperature controlled homes and offices versus being in a vehicle enduring the extreme temp changes each 24 hour day.

Also those computers above are not in vehicles riding the terrible roads in America. They are offices and homes that don't bounce around while driven on our terrible roads.

A lonely astronaut deep in space with an artificial intelligence, what could go wrong? NASA says there shouldn’t be a problem.

At least it didn’t start playing calls to Muslim prayer 5 times a day.

Yet.

Good lord, it’s worse than I could have imagined. According to the article, it refuses to stop playing music by Kraftwerk. That ought to be against the Geneva convention.

Wonder if this is the cause of the pinpoint hole in the space station?

You definitely want this model of android on board, since it is incapable of hurting humans.

It could be worse. They could have self-aware bombs (Dark Star, anyone?)
