From Asimov to Hawking: Robotic phobia afflicts humans

[Netease smart news August 19 news] robots are plotting to kill us, or enslave us, or, better situation, they will take away our work one by one.

From the science fiction written by Isaac Asimov 80 years ago to the current Dirbert comics, the relationship between robots and humans has long been fascinating—and it's worrying.

There is even a word called "robot phobia," referring to irrational anxiety about robots and other advanced automated machines.

Moreover, apart from the worries brought about by the Terminator, there are other concerns.

Steve Wozniak, the pioneer of Apple Computer, once said that robots will turn us into their pets. Physicist Stephen Hawking and technology entrepreneur Elon Musk also warned that there may be dangers in developing "thinkable robots" because its intelligent programs may continue to develop self-awareness, similar to the HBO series "Western World in the robot.

Hawking told the BBC in 2014 that "complete human intelligence development may mean the end of humanity."

Researchers have different predictions about how long this threat may be.

At present, cases of death due to robots are still very rare in industrial accidents. However, in July 2015, a 57-year-old technician was killed by a robot at a plant in Ionia, Michigan, which produced bumpers, trailer hooks, and chrome plastic. Her husband filed a federal lawsuit, claiming that a faulty robot had "sneaked" at her inadvertently, and her head was smashed.

As a CTO working hard to promote robotic solutions for US manufacturing, Professor Howe Joyce of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh believes that people’s fears that robots will take away jobs make him become a task. More difficult.

“You should start this discussion based on the creation of jobs through automation and innovation,” he said. “Create new jobs by creating new products and processes.

Then you ask why robots are different? People will answer quickly because if robots are smart, they can do what humans can do. This fear is instilled in science fiction. “

Contrasting the fear of robots and the concerns of the steam engine in the 19th century, Jost said: "The robot is only a tool for the next generation."

With the help of actress Laura Linney, singer Aimee Mann humorously portrays the danger of over-reliance on robots in the MV.

The most recent "Dilbert" series makes Jost feel funny. This episode is about the boss's inability to stop a robot worker who decided to resign.

When Chris Boggs, 18, watched the 2004 film "My Robot," he saw a rebel robotic killer inspired by Asimov's novels. This made him feel very scared. But through the Butler Technology Robotics Project at Colerain High School near Cincinnati, he has learned to understand and appreciate their potential.

“When I came in on the first day, I fell in love with it.” “I know this is where I want to stay.” “I like robots, anything related to technology.”

He said that if robots that can think some day have the ability to threaten humans, "I might try to make friends with them."
