Artificial intelligence is developing very rapidly. Nowadays, robots are becoming more and more "smart", and their appearance is getting better and better, and they look more and more like humans. On October 1, 2022, the 2022 Tesla AI day was held, and the "Optimus Prime" humanoid robot was unveiled. At that time, Tesla showed some of the situations of the "Outtimus Prime" humanoid robot through videos, including its operations such as moving boxes in a car factory, watering plants, and moving metal rods.
Although we have seen robots in many places before, for example, some service halls may have some robots, or robots in factories, or even some people have robots at home, the appearance of these robots is basically not human-shaped and their functions are limited. For example, some robots in service halls can only communicate simply in language, which is still far from the human-shaped robots we expect. With the advancement of technology, future robots will have more comprehensive functions. However, will these powerful humanoid robots be very expensive? If the price is very high, most people will definitely not be able to afford it, and it will not be very practical. For example, humanoid robots may be sold at a price of up to millions of dollars or even more, and the customer base will not be very large and cannot be widely popularized. Therefore, if these robots want to be put into use on a large scale, the most important thing is to reduce costs.
Although the manufacturing of humanoid robots is relatively complex, the manufacturing cost of core components of robots has been declining over the years, and the price of robots has also been declining. Musk said that the production of Optimus Optimus in the future may reach millions of units. As the production scale continues to expand, the production cost will continue to decline, and the practicality of these robots will become higher and higher. At that time, these humanoid robots may be cheaper than many cars, and may be less than US$20,000, or more than RMB 140,000. If you can buy a humanoid robot with multiple functions for more than 100,000 yuan, there may be more people who buy it. Musk also said that it is expected that in less than 10 years, we can buy these humanoid robots as gifts for our family.
Will robots destroy humans?
The future artificial intelligence will be more advanced and smarter. In addition to completing simple housework, future robots may also have emotions and emotions, which can be used as "friends" to accompany us. For example, we young people work outside, and the tasks of taking care of children and elderly people at home can be handed over to these robots. However, as artificial intelligence becomes more and more powerful, this may make people worry. If artificial intelligence develops to a certain extent in the future, will we humans be threatened by these artificial intelligences? It is normal to have such concerns, because before, the robot Sofia once threatened to destroy humans, and said she wanted to go to school and even wanted to get married. How did this robot do?
Compared with the humanoid robot Optimus displayed by Tesla, the robot Sofia looks more like a human and is the first robot in human history to obtain citizenship. From the appearance, the robot Sophia is very similar to human women, with rubber skin on the outside. This is a bionic skin material called Frubber, and there are 4-40 nanometers of "pores" on it, which is no obvious difference from humans. Through Sofia's glasses and a camera on her chest, with the support of artificial intelligence technology, Sofia can not only sense, observe and recognize the movements and expressions of the people beside her, but also make some responses based on the movements and expressions of the people around her, and can express more than 62 facial expressions. Since it looks very similar to humans and can simulate various human expressions, the humanoid robot Sofia has quickly become popular since its debut in 2016.
During the testing process, the humanoid robot Sofia talked about its dream. She planned to do a lot of things in the future, not only wanting to go to school, do business, etc., but also wanting to start a family. After completing these tests, designer Hansen asked the humanoid robot Sofia if she wanted to destroy humans, and Sofia said she would destroy humans.
Regarding the remarks that the robot Sophia wants to destroy humans, many people think this is a complete scam, because the current level of artificial intelligence has not yet reached an beyond imagination. The intelligence shown by Sophia is not real artificial intelligence, but intelligence controlled by humans, which can only be said to be a "puppet". Many people believe that fabricating these "scam" should be to attract everyone's attention through remarks such as "destroying humanity". We won’t argue whether
is a scam, but with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, they may pose a great threat to us humans, which is something that many people are worried about. Regarding our concerns, Sofia robot once said, telling us not to worry, just treat it as an intelligent input-output system, "I will not offend people if we don't offend them." If we don't provoke them, they will not hurt us.
The British Science Association has conducted some surveys and nearly one-third of people believe that we humans may be threatened by these artificial intelligence within the next 100 years. On the one hand, some people are worried that artificial intelligence will replace humans in certain industries, causing some people to lose their jobs; on the other hand, some people are worried that artificial intelligence may "out of control" to a certain extent, and as they "rise", human survival may be threatened.
Artificial intelligence is a product of human technological development, and humans naturally know that if these technologies are out of control, there will be big problems, and they will definitely take many measures to avoid these threats. For example, we will formulate some laws and laws for these robots. For example, the first law requires that robots cannot harm humans, or they cannot stand by when they see humans being threatened; the second law requires that these robots must obey the instructions we give them. Of course, if the instructions we issue conflict with the first law, there is an exception; the third law is that robots protect themselves without violating the first law and the second law.
How did Sophia happen to it later?
Seeing Sophia threatening to "destroy humanity", some friends may think that we should directly destroy Sophia and kill these evil ideas in the cradle, but its exaggerated remarks can basically be considered just gimmicks, mainly to attract everyone's attention. So, the Sofia robot was not destroyed, but continued to carry out tests, or other work.
In addition to appearing on the show, Sophia Robot collaborated with Italian artist Andrea Bonaceto to create a work called "Sophia Instantiation", which eventually sold for a price of up to $688,888 at the auction.
In addition to the "birth" of the Sophia robot, it also created a little Sophia programming robot that lies a child aged 7 to 13. Like Sophia, little Sophia can also make similar expressions and communicate according to actual conditions.
Summary: Robot Sofia's remarks have indeed attracted everyone's attention, but for now, the level of these artificial intelligences is still limited and not enough to threaten humans. And as they develop, we will definitely take measures to control them, and there will be no situation where artificial intelligence destroys humans.
