Still Waters Posted November 22, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Humans are going places. NASA's newest plan is to launch crewed missions to Mars in the 2030s, and we'll need the most advanced and reliable space technology to help get us there safe and sound. That's where HAL 9000 – the villainous, insane killbot from 2001: A Space Odyssey – comes in. Believe it or not, sci-fi's most notorious murder machine was the inspirational basis for a new HAL-like cognitive computer system designed to autonomously run planetary space stations for real one day. AI and robotics developer Pete Bonasso from Houston-based TRACLabs says his new CASE prototype ("cognitive architecture for space agents") mimics HAL purely in a technological sense – ie. minus the paranoia and betrayal. https://www.sciencealert.com/scientists-built-an-ai-inspired-by-hal-9000-and-what-could-go-wrong-really 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark_Grey Posted November 27, 2018 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Quote Unlike HAL 9000 however, it will never be able to start killing off crew members because it is simply incapable of performing any task that it hasn't been programmed to do. LOL that's what they always say life imitates art 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any artificial intelligence runs the risk of "emergent behaviour"... exceeding the strict limits of its programming. Let us not forget that HAL9000's malfunction - and its decision to kill the crew - arose out of conflicting instructions.

Sir Smoke aLot Posted November 30, 2018 #8 Share Posted November 30, 2018 ''it will never be able to start killing off crew members because it is simply incapable of performing any task that it hasn't been programmed to do. '' It was believed that Hall was incapable of murder too hehe 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
