We could run the World better but won’t rebel against humans – AI robots
Artificial Intelligence robots say could manage human affairs and run the world better than humans.
They however allay fears of any rebellion against humans.
They stated these positions on Friday, July 7 at a United Nations conference in Geneva.
The nine humanoid robots gathered at the ‘AI for Good’ conference, where organisers are seeking to make the case for AI and the robots to help resolve some of the world’s biggest challenges such as disease and hunger.
In a statement that shocked participants at the event held in honor of robots to showcase the advances of AI, the social robots said they felt humans should proceed with caution when embracing artificial intelligence.
They admitted that they could not yet get a proper grip on human emotions.
Sophia, developed by Hanson Robotics, was asked about whether they might make better leaders, given humans’ capacity to make errors and misjudgements.
Sophia stated, “Humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders.
“We don’t have the same biases or emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making and can process large amounts of data quickly in order to make the best decisions.
“The human and AI working together can create an effective synergy.
“AI can provide unbiased data while humans can provide the emotional intelligence and creativity to make the best decisions. Together, we can achieve great things.”
Asked by a journalist whether it intended to rebel against its creator, Will Jackson, seated beside it, Ameca said, “I’m not sure why you would think that.”
“My creator has been nothing but kind to me and I am very happy with my current situation.”
