InnoVision-AUTOMATON
Stephen hawking once said , “ AI is likely to be either the best or the worst thing to happen to humanity “
Man is to technology what the bee is to the flower. It’s man’s intervention that allows technology to expand and evolve itself and in return, technology offers man convenience, wealth and the lessening burden of physical labor via its automated systems. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. The humanoid robots today are prime examples of what artificial intelligence can achieve.
So what exactly is a humanoid robot ? A Humanoid may be defined as something that resembles or looks like a human but having characteristics like opposable thumb, ability to walk in upright position, etc
Sophia the robot , one of the most successful yet controversial humanoid might not have a heart or brain, but it does have a Saudi Arabian citizenship .
Sophia was developed by Hanson Robotics, led by AI developer David Hanson.
"Sophia is an evolving genius machine," the company states on its website. "Over time, her increasing intelligence and remarkable story will enchant the world and connect with people regardless of age, gender, and culture."
Sophia has a flesh-colored zipper running down the base of its neck, and the exposed plastic skull doesn't quite sell the illusion of humanity.
But the guts of Sophia's machinery are intriguing. Along with the mechanical systems that give Sophia the ability to "emote," the machine learning software stores bits of conversation in its memory and tries to grasp the flow of discussion to produce live answers in real-time.
"The idea of fooling humans is not necessarily the goal.”Ultimately, Hanson wants to mimic humans' capacity for love, empathy, anger, jealousy, and the sense of being alive.
Sophia's capacity for displaying emotion is still limited. It can show happiness — sort of.And it can raise its eyebrows and frown to show sadness.It can also bear its humanoid teeth to show anger (which, hopefully, is not directed at any of us).
He wants people to interact with Sophia in the same way they'd talk to a friend.
His mission is to get people accustomed to seeing Sophia's face and have them gain an appreciation for the advances AI has made."She has also become a media darling," the Hanson Robotics website explains, "having given numerous interviews to multiple media outlets, sang in a concert, and even graced the cover of one of the top fashion magazines."
Eventually, he hopes the robot can perceive the social world just as it perceives the physical world.
Hanson himself, however, believes that future is much more immediate. "The age of living androids is among us,"
Sophia's particular technological qualities have begun to generate repercussions of various kinds, not only in the academic-scientific world, but also ethically, artistically, religiously, morally, politically and economically. From the above, it can be affirmed that Sophia has marked the beginning of a new era, not only robotic but also technological in general, which now allows to see with greater certainty the real emergence of a successor of the human species.
With the emergence of robots like Sophia there is a possibility of movies like Ex-machina and the machine becoming a reality.
The robots are coming, whether we like it or not, and will change our lives in dramatic ways.
