Imagine a robot that has the exact same appearance, emotions and intelligence as humans beings. Then, would you rather marry the AI or a human? My whole speech is under the strict condition that physically, intellectually and emotionally, robots appear to be humans. Then, is it emotionally possible for humans to love robots? But even though robots are on the inside different from humans, if we cannot tell them apart, does it matter? I believe ______, since even if one knew that it is a robot, in the end, they will psychologically end up perceiving them as another being open to socializing, the society will end up accepting these marriages and the decrease of human interactions would not matter anymore in the future.
A human can perceive a

However, scientists say by 2050, robot-human marriages will be common. That’s 32 years, but if we think about it, only 20 years ago, homosexual marriages were socially inimaginable, as well as interracial marriage 50 years ago. However, the old perception on those people are changing, as the mindset of people change extremely rapidly as their environment modernize. In 100 years, kids will be born alongside robots and AI and willI interact with them from a very early age. Robots will be considered as other beings that have always been around, and it will be seen as normal, as most people develop their theories on what is normal and not from age 1 to 7. As for the ethical aspect, I think about it this way: what if we all got out of that perspective of “is that even love?” and think of someone who truly feels emotions towards a robot. Again, will we be able to say that the feeling THEY’re experiencing is just “synthetic” love while the love that is typically known and advertised is “real”? Because to that person, what they’re feeling is neurologically very real, whether the society accepts it or not, in addition to the fact that the human nature that was thought to be characteristic to human beings, not only intellectually but ethically is becoming just a fantasy now, as many computer experts, scientists and neurologists confirm. Then, could any of us be able to say that an AI is “fake”, because even if a robot cannot love us back, fake love or one sided love is present in the human department as well. Therefore,
The advancement of technology that our society has been privileged with, is starting to take over human’s emotions and replace them with those of a robot. When it comes to the discussion of technology, I have mixed feelings because, in my opinion, we do have a great tool in the palm of our hands. However, I also think human emotions and actions are starting to become robot-like. We need to be able to process emotions so that we can better our understanding of not only each other but also ourselves. I strongly think society needs to evict the virtual world and come back to the real world although it is safe to say I personally have a love-hate relationship with technology.
We are boats subject to the tides and currents of our emotions. Strong and powerful emotions have been the ignition fueling countless social movements as well as horrid tragedies. Emotions are as unpredictable as they are complex. Implementing Eleonore Stump’s analysis of love as well as the arguments for eliminating anger by Owen Flanagan and the Stoic philosophers, the new sentient robots should not be given the ability to experience human emotions because of their characteristics of destructiveness and unpredictability. Eleonore Stump argues that love is the desire for the objective good and union with the beloved.
Today, you can turn back the hands of time and become young and beautiful once again. And you do not have to go under the knife to achieve amazing results. You can make it happen with a single Botox injection. The results from this cosmetic procedure have made it a Hollywood craze and it has now become much more accessible to non-celebrity patients as well. What exactly is Botox?
Thompson illustrated what kind of world we would live in if work were to diminish. This world included excessive amounts of dominating robots, contentious politics, and leisure time. For the past couple of years people have said that robots will take over and dominate humans. This has always been a myth, or rather a topic that is brushed off of the shoulders. However, this fantasy is quickly becoming a reality due to current trends in technology.
As society continues to develop and makes new plans, technology in today’s world is starting to raise some questions. Patrick Lin, is a philosopher and director of the ethics emerging group at the state University in California. With the help of the university Patrick Lin wrote an essay called The Big Question: in his essay, he talks about the technologies and ideas in which many people seem to overlook today. In hopes of raising awareness about the upcoming industrial revolution of robotics. the changing of the world around us is already underway.
Throughout this unit we have read about people who challenged expectations, challenging expectations are worth the struggles and sacrifices they faced because it made them stronger and they learned how they related to others that faced similar issues. First of all, in both “La Vida Robot” by Joshua Davis and “The Freedom Writers Diary” by The Freedom Writers with Erin Gruwell articles, students learned how to relates to others that faced similar issues they went through which made them stronger as human beings. In article “La Vida Robot” Davis states “Now the four underprivileged high school students from phoenix Carl Hayden community High School have a better chance of paying for college –and their story may soon be a big-budget movie.” This shows that throughout everything the students have been through, at the end they were rewarded with something life changing. Also in article “The Freedom Writers Diary” the authors The Freedom Writers with Gruwell state “I guess I’ll have to wait for the war to end like Anne and Zlata did except I won’t be taken advantage of I’m going to be strong.”
Diversity creates an opportunity for potential and playfulness. In contrast, a uniform society lacks potential and creativity. Through the experiments of artificial intelligence by Milgram and Corti, David Robson demonstrates the issues of a society with many robots. He writes “As artificial intelligence starts to get close to pass for human, its not just uncanny, its awkward”. Robson is concerned that through communicating with robots, creativity and potential will slowly diminish, resulting in awkward conversations with one
Technology will eventually take over humans, unless we’re careful. Yes, it would be nice for robots to do chores, but they could end up doing everything for the world? Humans could just sit back and watch TV all day. But, what’s the point of life then? School may not seem fun at times, but you are with your friends.
This statement from the author represents an informative tone in the functionality of a robot. Another example from the text would be when it states that “real world robotics spend a lot of time grappling with the hypothesis known as the “uncanny valley”, which holds that people are revolted by robots that act like, but not perfectly like humans”. So with this statement, the author is being informative in informing the audience that although robots don’t hundred percent look like humans they are still, however, able to adapt and also presentable acceptable in providing service to the
Robots: A Hero’s Journey If there is a story, there will be a hero. A hero usually takes center stage in a work and entertains the audience with their spectacular characterization that illuminates them to be far more engaging than the remainder of the cast. Most heroes fall into a mold that transcribes them with a society’s desired traits. Often times a hero gleams with characteristics of being brave, charismatic, funny, driven, and just.
In the New York Times Magazine, "Death by Robot," Robin Henig addresses about how robots contributed remarkably to society and became a part of human 's life, but when it came to choosing between two contradictory choices of life and death, even with superior data and calculations, a robot would not be able to replace a human 's
This is going to be a massive social challenge. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better [than a human]. These are not things that I wish will happen. These are simply things that I think probably will happen.” — Elon Musk “You cross the threshold of job-replacement of certain activities all sort of at once. So, you know, warehouse work, driving, room cleanup, there’s quite a few things that are meaningful job categories that, certainly in the next 20 years [will go away].”
In “The Mating Mind”, Miller suggests that “Human intelligence can be demonstrated very effectively through verbal courtship and any machine capable of verbal courtship should be considered genuinely intelligent”. I find this idea very interesting and I think that we can be inspired by our ancestors’ courtship strategies in the field of artificial intelligence. For example, an intelligent machine can be designed to try to “attract” other machines by developing more sophisticated programs and by using a language of communication. Every machine could be given the possibility to choose the machine to “mate” with i.e. to merge its program with.
We all use it. Whether it is a text to your significant other, a hard work day on the job, a quick drive to the store, even something as simple as going to church, no matter where we are we always seem to be using technology. Technology is a growing issue with each passing day and even though there are positive effects it also has its negative side. It affects the things we do such as communication and playing, but most importantly affects our brain with our daily thought process. Today, Im going to inform you on how technology has affected you and your daily lifestyle habits.
New technologies that people had never imagined a decade, or even some decades ago, are now expanding and changing all our lives. Taking smartphones as an example, people in old time had never imagined that small, tiny box could enable people to bring smart computer to everywhere. Yet, smartphones are now completely embedded into our lives and changed how we communicate. Technology lets us live simply, more conveniently, and more easily, but at the same time, it creates complex debates and controversies of ethical problems. In this world, where humans cannot live without the benefits of technology, it is impossible to ignore ethical problems.
