With the development of science and technology, robots are more and more spiritual and more like natural human beings: the earliest robot is only an arm, which can only complete simple actions, and can not go straight horizontally and vertically, and turn a little while; Later, with the rapid development of sensors, big data and other technologies, robots began to become more intelligent, not only can they complete relatively complex work, but also learn independently, and even have advanced human emotions to some extent, which makes relevant practitioners full of imagination for the future. In addition, in science fiction films, robots evolve much faster than the real world. For example, the terminator dark destiny recently released has caused a worldwide movie viewing boom. People miss the screen images of Schwarzenegger and Hamilton, and also their youth: as the most intense and exaggerated battle in T-800, he is not only the spiritual leader of the team, It is also the backing of several female characters. Wearing sunglasses symbolizes the return of the former warriors. Facing the "recognized and invincible" enemies, the fierce fighting scene is reappeared on the big screen, arousing everyone's youth memory, and at the same time, it also triggers a big discussion on "how human beings coexist with robots".
In some movies and simulated videos, we can often see the "robot firing at human beings with machine guns or rockets in the hands of a machine", but in the real world, none of these have happened. In fact, the first rule of famous robot law stipulates that the value of robot existence is to serve human beings, and it is absolutely impossible to "harm" human beings. This is the bottom line of "machine adult". But compared with the camera in the movie, it is more frightening: the working ability, learning ability and environmental adaptability of robots, industrial chain workers are losing their jobs because of robots, More and more Europeans and Americans are considering adopting a machine baby, so fear develops to the ultimate discussion: will humans lose the dominant power of the earth?
Why does robots create fear to cater to human nature?
In a word, the core purpose of the first human to manufacture machines and "nurture" robots is to replace human work. On the one hand, we will give our "can't" work to robots, such as chip processing, PCB mounting, Mars exploration, seabed exploration, etc., which can not be done by human hands, I believe that many people have seen the animal world when they were young. In order to keep the most original ecological environment of animals, photography can only be done by robots; On the other hand, human beings will also give some "don't want to do" work to robots, so the trend in the new era is more obvious: the older generation can sit down on the assembly line, seriously complete the monotonous assembly work; The bricklayer master is still interested in building his own house and enjoying the happiness of upgrading materials in his hands. However, the modern new society is highly developed and efficiency becomes the first priority. Human beings are no longer free to enjoy the happiness of "manufacturing process". In order to pursue more efficient and high-precision manufacturing process, machines are gradually used to replace artificial ones, taking the construction industry as an example, Before that, a 5-story commercial building was built by skilled workers, which required piling and safety system. Then, bricks were built manually. The fastest speed would take about nine months. Workers also risked their lives. There were often "about to be completed, and suddenly kill one person"; The latest robot led construction industry has higher efficiency in moving bricks and bricklaying, and also saves the time for the construction of safety system. The fastest record of construction period is: 15 days to build a 30 story building, and zero accidents.
There is no doubt that the robot industry has made great progress in the past 30 years. According to the original intention of human design, this should be absolutely good. However, due to the employment opportunities, technology inheritance, intelligent competition and other matters, human beings have to deal with the fears created by robots when enjoying the convenience brought by robots:
First of all, the existence of robots enlarges the weakness of human nature, especially inertia and greed. We give more and more work to robots. The first is assembly work and construction work of assembly line. In the last decade, we have also handed over all the work of cooks, waiters and security to robots. But human beings need to work in essence and machine them in a large scale, Let a large number of grassroots workers lose their jobs, they can not find jobs at the top of the pyramid quickly. It can be said that robots first create fear for "bottom workers"; Secondly, with the development of big data and cloud computing, robots are competent for more complex work, including some artistic work, such as they can copy Van Gogh and Leonardo's paintings. Mona Lisa's smile is no longer mysterious, but also can make classic Jingdezhen porcelain. The works of natural people and robots can not be distinguished by digital simulation. Obviously, robots are bringing great fear to these former masters: their famous stunts, helping them to gain social status and bringing them infinite happiness. It was a pity that they needed rare talents and hard work before, and now they only need a series of code to copy.
Of course, the ultimate fear of robots is still: the ownership of the dominant power of the earth, we should know that once robots can learn independently, they are likely to do things that are "not under human control". Robots can even program themselves to create more advanced machine people and create a new world. If we make a major breakthrough in material technology accidentally, It is not a matter of effortless to invent a "Mercury" robot and take away the ruling power of the earth!
How can human beings coexist with robots?
Fear is permeated in the science and technology, academia and film circles, but the trend of "earth mechanization" will not change any more. Moreover, the author believes that the terminator in the film will become a reality, just as the submarine appeared in science fiction in the first place and finally came true. By that time, what mankind should think about is not how to control and enslave robots, let them take part-time jobs, but how to live with robots and even integrate them in an all-round way.
In the foreseeable future, robots will be more intelligent. They can not only complete basic physical labor, but also show their heads in higher-end fields. For example, roboticists may completely replace traditional Chinese medicine in the future, such as robot massage practitioners. Their strength and hand feel are more standard. If they can simulate the feeling of human skin in terms of materials, The massage industry will be completely subverted. Moreover, the robot express brother must climb the building faster than the natural human. And those dinks may adopt a "machine baby". It can be seen that the penetration of robots in the future world will be more thorough. Because of the increase of permeability, they are not only "fulfilling their obligations", but also extend to the category of "enjoying rights". What's more, compared with natural human beings, robots have stronger ability to adapt to the environment, and they can survive in the environment of high temperature, high humidity and high concentration chemicals, and the nutrients and energy are easier to collect, and there are no human specific emotional problems, It is also much easier to change parts and update codes than natural humans
If the future is harmonious enough and human thought is transformed, perhaps, mankind will really give the dominant power of the earth to robots, just as if it were given to our children, without complaint, and it is the inheritance between natural life and machines（ New discovery of technology Constantine / Wen)
