With the advancement of technology, robots will become more and more popular in the future. In our lives, these robots will play various roles, such as helping us complete many housework, or becoming our chat companions. However, these robots do not have their own thinking ability like humans, nor do they have emotions like us. Will robots pose a threat to us humans in daily life? This is something that many people are worried about, including the famous scientist Hawking . He once expressed concern about the threat of artificial intelligence , and these issues were mentioned in its "doomsday prophecy". The question is, will robots really harm humans?

Robot pinched off the boy's finger

, something like this has really happened. At the Chess Open in Moscow, a chess robot cut off the finger of a 7-year-old boy Christopher. The little boy was participating in a chess competition at the time. After his finger was cut off by a robot, the little boy's finger was cast. Although he was injured, the little boy still insisted on completing the competition.

This robot often participates in various opening ceremonies. On the day the little boy's finger was cut off, the robot had completed 3 games. Russian super master Karyakin said that in his impression, the first time such a thing happened was that the robot's "system error" caused the robot to accidentally hurt the little boy.

Of course, some people think that it may be that the little boy "fouled" when he was playing against the robot. His operation speed was too fast, but the robot took the chess piece and was "catched" and the robot cut off his fingers. After being pinched off the fingers, several adults pulled out the little boy's hand together. Smakin, vice president of the Moscow Chess Federation, said that when playing chess with these robots, some safety rules will be set for safety reasons. Under normal circumstances, when we play chess with a robot, we need to leave a certain reaction time for the robot. However, this little boy did not consider this issue when playing chess, did not give the robot time, and was eventually pinched to his finger by the robot.

In our impression, the current robot functions are still not powerful enough and are not as "smart" as we imagined, because most robots can only interact with us humans simply, and the actions they usually make are also very simple, but are basically several repetitive actions. For example, this chess robot will only complete the actions of grabbing, moving, and putting it down. Such robots have no subjective consciousness, so they will not actively attack humans. It is precisely because the robot does not have "subjective consciousness" and just repeats a few simple actions blankly, so when the little boy's fingers may be pinched, the robot will not take the initiative to stop the next action.

In addition to the case of a chess robot cutting off a little boy's finger, there are many things that a robot hurts people. Previously, a study in the United States said that on average, one person is "killed" by a robot every year in the United States. Of course, the robot under investigation may also include some robot arm in the factory. Some accidents may be caused by mistakes during human operation, or it may be that there is a problem with the robot's own system, which leads to the accident.

" Doomsday " is true

Many people are worried about these potential threats to artificial intelligence, and Hawking once put forward two perspectives. One of the views believes that the development of artificial intelligence may promote the development of human society to a large extent. Because humans may not be able to do well in some jobs, for example, when completing some relatively high-risk tasks, the discharge robot may be higher.Just like at this stage, we explore the moon, explore Mars, and even explore outer solar system . Launching unmanned probes and robots can complete many scientific tasks. Humans are difficult to survive in alien planets with harsh environments and need a very complete life support system, but robots do not need to consider these.

The second point of view is that we do not know whether these artificial intelligences will help us humans infinitely, or will gradually replace us humans, such as stealing our jobs, causing many people to face unemployment. For example, when artificial intelligence develops to a certain level, will it be out of control and lead to the destruction of human civilization.

Compared with humans, artificial intelligence has many advantages that we humans cannot compare with. For example, robots are not afraid of fatigue, pain, and death. The key is that the survival of these robots is not as harsh as our humans’ requirements. We need a complete ecosystem, food, water, , oxygen, , and robots theoretically only need electricity to operate. Especially with the advancement of technology, robots can even reproduce themselves. In that case, even without human intervention, robots may continue to expand.

According to a paper published in the Proceedings of the American Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers from the University of Vermont, Tavertz University and Harvard University's West Institute described a way of self-reproduction of a biological robot (also known as "alien robots".

This "alienoid robot" is different from traditional robots and mechanical device robots. This is a biological robot "Xenobot" created by scientists, which is much larger than microorganisms and some parasites. The birth of this robot is roughly like this. Scientists first extracted some live stem cells from frog embryos and let them incubate them into heart cells and epidermal cells. Finally, they pieced together these cells to obtain a living, programmable organism. These opposite-sex robots can move in water, not only have the ability to repair and biodegrade by themselves, but also have the ability to replicate themselves. In other words, these opposite-sex robots will constantly search for cells to build their own "copy" and then copy themselves.

The opposite sex robot that can reproduce itself has appeared. This research has attracted the attention of many people. Many people have begun to worry that these opposite sex robots may break through human control and may eventually backfire us humans. So, this is a very controversial study. However, scientists say that these opposite-sex robots will not pose a threat to humans. They currently exist only in laboratories. If something is found to be wrong, scientists will destroy them immediately.

Even if scientists can now destroy these self-reproductive opposite-sex robots, these studies show that the potential of robots may be something we cannot predict. If the future technology is developed enough, the robots we create may have more powerful functions. How to avoid these robots posing a threat to us humans is a question worthy of our attention.
