Japan Roboticists Predict Rise of the Machines
There is a secretive research institute in western Japan, wild-haired roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro is fine-tuning technology that could blur the line between man and machine. They predicted that the robot is highly intelligent, self-aware and helpful around the house — the robots of the future could look and act just like humans and even become their friends.
Ishiguro and his team continued to say that, every year we’re developing new technology — like deep learning, which has improved the performance of pattern recognition, now we’re focusing on implementing them into robots whether they become more human-like.
It has come in to markets as the world’s first “cyborg-type” robot, HAL (hybrid assistive limb) — developed by Tsukuba University and Japanese company Cyberdyne is helping people in wheelchairs walk again using sensors connected to the unit’s control system.
Researchers believe service robots will one day help us with household chores, from taking out the garbage to making the perfect slice of toast. By seeing Ishiguro, stockbrokers in Japan and around the world are already deploying AI bots to forecast stock market trends and science fiction’s rapid advance towards science.
Not only the Film industry Hollywood, wants to destroy robots,” shrugged Ishiguro, who in 2007 was named one of the top 100 living geniuses by global consultants firm Synectics.
Even Tesla’s Elon Musk has called for a global ban on killer robots, warning technological advances could revolutionise warfare and create new “weapons of terror” that target innocent people.
Japanese cartoons and animations robots are always friendly. We have a totally different cultural background. But just insists there is no inherent danger in machines becoming self-aware or surpassing human intelligence.
Finally he said we don’t need to fear AI or robots, the risk is controllable, and my basic idea is that there is no difference between humans and robots.
