Looking at the uncontradictory movie poster, do you think Duo Ge is going to tell you about movies in this issue?
Of course not, the cover picture is a classic American science fiction movie that is more representative of artificial intelligence robots. Does the picture of the Tesla robot in the C position feel particularly integrated?
Why are these movies listed?
is an artificial intelligence robot that will be released soon because of Musk's Tesla . If you have seen these movies, then you must know what it would mean if Tesla's robot really realizes these functions 100%! Basic manufacturing jobs have been replaced by robots, handling jobs have been replaced by robots, housekeeping services have been replaced by robots, etc. It’s scary to think about it!
Let’s first introduce the hardware composition of Tesla’s robot
Musk named the first prototype robot “Optimus”. Optimus Prime has the following characteristics:
. Appearance: It is about the same size as an adult. Height 1.72m, weight 57kg, load 20kg (arms add 5kg), movement speed up to 8km/h, its surface is made of "lightweight material", smoother than human skin, the face will use a display screen, Specific information can be displayed.
. System aspect: Sharing the AI system with the car, the human head will be equipped with the same smart driving camera as Tesla car , with a built-in FSD chip, and also has multiple cameras and perspective neural networks.
. Mechanical aspect: 40 electric motors will be placed inside to provide power. It will also have human-level hands. Tesla Bot’s finger joints are flexible and very close to humans. The limbs are operated using 40 electromechanical push rods, and the two feet are equipped with force feedback sensors to achieve balance and agile movements.
Robot product positioning, purpose and price
According to information disclosed by Musk in public recently, Tesla robots will have super learning and computing capabilities, roughly equivalent to the intelligence and learning abilities of two ordinary people. Musk said that Tesla robots are the most important product development project in 2022, and their status is even higher than cars. Tesla will start mass production within the next two years. Due to the cost reduction effect of scale, its cost will eventually be lower than that of a car. Musk also specifically envisioned the robot's function in the home environment, calling it a companion robot with diverse applications and forms. The price is expected to be US$25,000 (approximately RMB 159,500). It is said that Tesla Bot is mainly produced to become a substitute for human labor, which will alleviate the labor shortage caused by the sharp decline in birth rates and subvert the existing economic model.
Let me summarize. Tesla Bot has a high learning ability, has flexible mobility, can perform physical labor, can do housework, and can walk quickly. It may have a certain sense of autonomy after learning, and the price is relatively cheap.
Things that come to mind about Tesla robots
Friends who know Tesla cars should know that Tesla cars have automatic emergency obstacle avoidance function. At critical moments, Tesla will use cameras and radars to judge the current road conditions and automatically steer and slow down. Or increase the speed to avoid the accident as much as possible, but all these systems will make their own judgments and execute them directly without going through the driver. The reaction time for traffic accidents is very short, and the driver may not be able to make judgments and actions at the first time. The car will make its own judgments and Perform actions and avoid obstacles. However, there are also cases where a traffic accident would not have occurred, but due to the system's misjudgment and proactive avoidance, a traffic accident occurred (there are many video examples on the Internet).So will a robot using the same system and camera make some actions that humans cannot control at what it considers to be a critical moment? For example, what about a backdoor embedded in a robot program to do some messy things?
Research experiments on artificial intelligence and robots are generally first mastered and tested by the military. If they are ready to be put into production in the civilian field, does that mean that Musk’s stuff has been mastered by the military of the beautiful country and can be used? Has it been put into large-scale production and applied in the military field? Will it become a real-life version of the invincible God of War "Terminator"?
Or maybe "Chappie" was originally a robot policeman with autonomous consciousness and was used by bad people to do bad things?
Back to the civilian field, if a robot is given a learning function and has consciousness, will the Tesla Bot we see be like the robot in "Mechanical Enemy", because of the difference in what it sees and learns in the process of daily interaction with humans? What if differences of opinion arise and turn into a war between robots and humans?
The descriptions and discussions about robots in science fiction films of the 21st century are more sharp and realistic. Can humans really rule these smart robots? After all, tender science fiction movies like " Robot Butler " released in 1999, in which robots fall in love with humans, and ultimately have a perfect ending between humans and robots, are still rare.
is just like the situation described in "Ex Machina". Not everything will be as beautiful as human beings think. Machines that can deceive people and take advantage of human nature may have more serious consequences than you and I imagine.
In fact, ethical issues have always been the most important link in the research topic of artificial intelligence robots. The three laws that robots cannot violate mentioned in "Mechanical Enemy" are:
. Robots must not harm humans, or stand by and watch while humans are harmed.
. Robots must obey human orders without violating the First Law.
. Without violating the first and second laws, robots must protect themselves.
However, the Bot failed to meet the three requirements set by humans in the movie. So when applied to reality, can the Bot listen to you 100% no matter what you say?
Some netizens made bold conjectures when the news of Tesla robots was first revealed, whether Musk would use the robot's artificial intelligence to carry human memories after human vital signs disappear, in order to achieve immortality.
Science fiction movies mainly discuss three types of issues about artificial intelligence robots. One is the relationship between machines and human nature; the other is the process of self-learning and development of robots; and the third is the meaning or purpose of robots as a continuation of life. In fact, this is also a problem that we humans need to face and solve when studying artificial intelligence robots in reality.
Summary
Musk has taken the first step. Although I have watched so many science fiction movies, this is a terrible thing, but after all, human society must develop and progress. It is possible to go through the stage of artificial intelligence robots. It will also become inevitable, but I still hope that we will not take too big steps and realize the artificial intelligence robot revolution step by step in a down-to-earth manner.
Note: The four movies on the cover are "Terminator", "Chappie", "I, Robot", and "Ex Machina". I also recommend everyone to watch "Robot Butler" and "Artificial Intelligence". It can help everyone understand the other side of artificial intelligence robots faster and more comprehensively.
