Robots and Artificial Intelligence
Robots can be both useful and dangerous. They are useful because they can do hard labour without getting tired, unlike humans, and work for long hours without stopping. It takes less time for it to complete a task that would have otherwise taken a very long time for a human to complete– for example digging a hole. Robots can do things that humans can't– calculating huge numbers very quickly, and they can do the same thing exactly the same, so that each object it produces, if it works in a factory, for example, is exactly the same. They can go into places that humans can't, or at least not for a long time– underwater, into poisonous gases that could otherwise kill a person, and they can store masses of information. Robots are very useful to our lives.
On the other hand, robots are incredibly dangerous. Since they have no feelings, they can merciless if they suddenly develop their own thoughts. If robots decide to take over the world there would be no stopping them because of all the things they can do. Robots are becoming, with today's technology, immensely powerful, and intelligent. If they attacked– it could even happen accidentally– it would be the end of humanity.
I think society should be very aware of the problems that could occur, and prepare for them. A lot of people could get hurt or killed, people who hadn't even thought advanced robots didn't even exist, yet alone had its own brains. Everyone should definitely be aware of the dangers of having artificial intelligence in robots.
I agree with this phrase: "A computer can only be as smart as its programmer. However, one day it might be programmed to learn how to learn". I agree that programmers need to be careful before he creates a robot that mimics the human behavior, because humans learn, which means so can robots, and if they learn they become more intelligent than the programmer might have even dreamed it to be. Because it is a robot, it can record and store thousands of pieces of information, and if it starts to learn, which I am sure is possible with today's advanced technology, then the world would be in grave danger. This is why a programmer should always be careful before programming a robot. Everyone should consider the dangers they provide, as well as the help. One day robots won't need programmers.
