Thoughts and Feelings of a Robot
Artificial intelligence has been a topic of intrigue for the last fiftyish years. One of the most popular beginnings of this topic is 2001: A Space Odyssey, a movie released in 1968. A take over of robots becoming more intelligent than humans has been a favourite troupe in sci-fi movies, although it’s a bit unrealistic. Robots are commanded through a series of codes, which foretells the outcomes of its actions. A robot also does not have fear or a humans defense against others. Too many people are concerned about the what ifs instead of the reality.
The way we use computers and every other electronic is through coding them to do what we want. Coding is a complicated process that takes time, trial and error, and patience. The idea that we would give a robot the ability to turn on humans is ridiculous. We would have to program fear into a machine and honestly that’s not palpable at this moment of time. The coding and technology that already has to go into these creations is already difficult without worrying about whether or not the machine will gain sentience. We do not live in a sci-fi film where we can accidentally give a robot feelings.
Emotions are a complicated mixture of hormones running through our bodies at a high rate. These hormones travel through passages of the body, and originate in different places. Feelings are a biological chemistry. Unless if we’re making cyborgs, I doubt that a robot could turn on humans. Feelings could not be given to these machines; we could give them responses to human feelings, but not actual emotions. And to code an electronic way to create an original emotional response to every situation would take an impractical amount of time.
Robots that are currently being created are still a slow process. Everything is meticulously checked and tested to make sure the final product is safe, working machine. To think that a mistake in coding against personal feelings in a robot is insane. The people and scientists in charge of creating robots give years of their time to build, and create codes for these machines; the idea of accidentally placing an emotional program in it is highly unlikely. This isn’t the Terminator, nothing is going to happen with these robots unless it’s programmed in them. This fear that robots will take over is irrational, it’s an entertained fantasy.
