Still Waters Posted October 27, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Quote A humanoid robot took the stage at the Future Investment Initiative yesterday and had an amusing exchange with the host to the delight of hundreds of delegates. Smartphones were held aloft as Sophia, a robot designed by Hong Kong company Hanson Robotics, gave a presentation that demonstrated her capacity for human expression. Sophia made global headlines when she was granted Saudi citizenship, making the kingdom the first country in the world to offer its citizenship to a robot. http://www.arabnews.com/node/1183166/saudi-arabia Quote Does Saudi robot citizen have more rights than women? http://www.arabnews.com/node/1183166/saudi-arabia 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DieChecker Posted October 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted October 28, 2017 And... Because the robot looks like a woman, its driving privileges have been curtailed, and it should wear something over that metallic head. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightly Posted October 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I think it's weird to grant any rights ,or attribute any humanness, to a machine. No matter how sophisticated a machine becomes it will never be a living being. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fred_mc Posted October 28, 2017 #11 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I would be interested in seeing a non-scripted interview with the robot. Wonder how intelligent it would appear to be then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandpa Greenman Posted October 28, 2017 #13 Share Posted October 28, 2017 I don't want a robot with rights, I want a slave. I want it to work for me, mow the lawn, sweep the floor, build a car, etc and I don't want it to give no lip about it, either. Build a smart machine that has feelings will be no end of trouble. It would be like having a kid, it would debate you over everything. "Take out the trash." "Aww.... I'm in the middle of my game.... aww... do I have tooo..." If they give it rights when I throw the useless piece to crap in the trash somebody will be all upset I killed the robot. Be careful what you wish for. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cells may be incorporated into machines as sensors or for some other purpose. The lines may get pretty blurry. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Dave Posted October 30, 2017 #23 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Skynet..... 79 % loading. Please Wait! Super dangerous stuff.... at its early stages. People say that robots are good, well as long as they have a pre-fixed set of commands than it is ok. When we start to talk about AI, with " brains ", then things will go south, there is no " might " they will. It is like we know this is bad and we will do it anyway, " the bug within our code ". So at the very moment, a self-thinking AI connects to world wide web, start evacuating the planet. The scale of such term is as large as money.
