I have read this from a book which written in chinese, the book name is the "100 Technologies Which Change The Future". In one sub chapter, some scientist say about the evolution of the robots.
They say that the robots will evolve from one stage to another stage, just like human. In year 2010, the robots will have the intelligence of the lizard. They will have two to six legs, and mostly their job will be cleaning the windows of the tall buildings.
Then, in year 2020, the robots will have the intelligence of the cat or dog, and they can act just like cat or dog. In year 2030, the robots will have the intelligence of the monkey. Besides that, they can understand some conversation of the human but not like now, just act according the database.
Finally, the last stage of the robots will start at year 2040. In this stage, the robots will just like humans. They can understand what human talk, and can think and learn by themselves. They may become stronger than human.
Now is 2007, just 33 more years the world that human live with robots will arrive, what do you think about this?
Im not too sure about the 10 year conclusion that in 2040 robots will be able to think, act and behave just like humans.... i do however think that the movements of robots will be able to supercede that of humans. It's just that the thought of free will, which makes humans so unique can be actually programmed into a robot. I do not think that robots will possess the free will and unique personality of humans in just 33 years, let alone a hundread.
ReplyDeleteactually robots to have conciousness and act freely is somehow depends because it seem that it depends on the human whether to create and let the robots become some kind a new being to act as the robots will, it might be risky. it might be dangerous like seen in movies where robot taking over human control so on or otherwise, its unknown.
