Can humans and robots ever peacefully coexist?

It seems like the majority of mankind is prejudice against robots, but not all robots are evil. Do you think that one day we’ll live in a world in which humans and robots will get along?

Answer #1

Not true Arachnid, at the rate of the last 100 years, we’ve seen over 600%+ increase to mechnical devices in homes. At the rate of human expansion and learning, we proceed to push ourselves even further than before. The first stage of AI in machines requires human input, or rather, learning from a human. We’re not too far off from creating a machine that appears and acts human, maybe 15 years. At the speed of technilogical advancing, we can see another 35 years probably equal to the speed of technology in the last 200 years.

It’s not whether you look at it as 1,2,3,4,5 years etc of advanced technology but rather it increases as each year goes by with an increased percentage. Humans are unlocking more and more every day. We survive and proceed by history alone, thefefor, the more recorded history the faster the gain in the search for ever increasing information.

We have more documented stuff to look back on 250 years ago than we did 1,000 years ago. We;re in the age of technological advancement, if you will.

Answer #2

There’s a difference between more automation in homes and smart or sentient machines. We don’t have even the fundamentals for any sort of true computer cognition - the closest we have is “learning” algorithms, that can train on a very specific set of input, but this is not even a shadow of true awareness.

Technological advancement is inevitable, true, but computer cognition isn’t. As I already said, we have little to no idea of how to make a computer program that can convincingly pass the turing test, and that hasn’t changed in a long time. If you can point to some real research that contradicts this (as opposed to supposition that it seems inevitable), feel free.

Answer #3

We already do, Kamex. We are no longer the dominating focus in our human built society.

Robots have been cutting jobs for up to 40% in some professions. Humans just don’t have what it takes anymore to do manual strength/endurance work, as robots actually do it better and are easier to diagnose and fix when they reach their max limit.

In another 50 years, expect robots with a very advanced AI to be communicating and making decisions. Whether humans and robots with sufficient AI can live together in the future, the answer is no.

The fault is with humanity, which will be the cause limited production/creation of intelligent decision making robots and many fail-safe option to control such machines.

Intelligence is measured by human capacity, and while people can argue “the human brain is faster/smarter than anything can be built”, the fact remains that intelligence truly is something that is only possibly applied to humanity and as a social structure for our superiority. If something can advance on it’s own from learned behavior, there is no saying where it will go.

Organic evolution takes millions of years, but I’ll tell you this much, mechanical evolution can be very short due to the way they are constructed.

A decision making behavior learning robot with a large capacity for learning is indeed superior to humans, and if they figure out they are “slaves”, it is possible that throughout time a war will ensue.

Answer #4

Well I have no current evidence, obviously because we’re in the same time, right? I was only talking about the future and one can’t prove the future, only predict it, which is what I have been doing.

I could say humanity will no longer exist in 500 years, but I have no evidence, other than a predicted timeline.

Answer #5

“In another 50 years, expect robots with a very advanced AI to be communicating and making decisions.”

Totally unsubstantiated. People have been predicting self-aware machines for as long as we’ve been researching AI (longer, even!), but nobody’s made even the start of inroads into true machine intelligence. We don’t even have a roadmap for how to do it.

Answer #6

Predictions require foundation. Simply saying “yes, it will happen” holds no credibility unless you actually have something to back it up. There’s been next to no progress on this issue in the last 50 years; there’s no reason to expect a sudden monumental breakthrough. That certainly isn’t enough evidence to put a firm date on - we don’t even know if it’s possible.
