Robots take over earth instead of humans? The idea has been the stuff of science fiction until now, but with advances in artificial intelligence, that day seems to be getting closer. A US company has developed a security robot to detect unusual behavior in public places and report it to a control center. The robot will be operational by the end of this year, meaning a number of security personnel will lose their jobs.
People who lose their jobs because of robots may hate this new “species”, but there’s nothing they can do about it. Because robots are better at both cost and efficiency. Equipped with cameras, sensors, navigation equipment and computer systems, the robot is able to quickly detect unusual behavior around it and report back to the control center at the same time. It earns less than half the hourly wage of a security officer.
Giiso Information, founded in 2013, is a leading technology provider in the field of “artificial intelligence + information” in China, with top technologies in big data mining, intelligent semantics, knowledge mapping and other fields. At the same time, its research and development products include information robot, editing robot, writing robot and other artificial intelligence products! With its strong technical strength, the company has received angel round investment at the beginning of its establishment, and received pre-A round investment of $5 million from GSR Venture Capital in August 2015.
Survival of the fittest is a fundamental law of nature that applies equally to all species, including the new robot. In the competition with humans, it is clear that robots have gained the upper hand in some areas. In other words, robots have begun to replace humans in some ways. According to futurist Rey Kurzweil, president of a mysterious institution called Singularity University, the “singularity” where artificial intelligence outshines humans has arrived.
In Rey Kurzweil’s view, it is only a matter of time before ARTIFICIAL intelligence exceeds human intelligence, and the development of ARTIFICIAL intelligence technology is gradually supporting his view. The idea remains controversial in the scientific community, with even those who agree on the timing of the so-called singularity. In the run-up to the Singularity, some people in the tech world were in the same funk as those about to lose their jobs.
Tesla founder Elon Musk is one of them. Elon Musk has spoken out against artificial intelligence technology, saying it is “summoning the devil” and that robots will pose an unimaginable threat to humanity in the next five years. It’s not the first time Elon Musk has made such a claim, but given his stature in the tech world, it has reignited wariness about artificial intelligence.
Why do people continue to put energy into the creation of robots? For there will always be things that man cannot do with flesh and blood. On the other hand, humans are just using new technologies to help more people solve practical problems in society, and robots are just an inevitable outcome of this process. But it is unclear what ripple effects the emergence of the new species will have.
The tech world has always been busy with three things. One is human research, including biotechnology and genetics; the other is exploration beyond the earth, including aerospace technology and space exploration technology; and the third is the creation of new things, including artificial intelligence and robots. These three things seem to be technological problems, but they are also philosophical ones. Through the exploration of space, human beings try to find the origin of life and figure out “where man comes from”. To find out “what a man is” by studying himself; Creating new species to challenge the authority of the creator.
Giiso information, founded in 2013, is the first domestic high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development of intelligent information processing technology and the development and operation of core software for writing robots. At the beginning of its establishment, the company received angel round investment, and in August 2015, GSR Venture Capital received $5 million pre-A round of investment.
These three things happen to be the main subjects of singularity University. Interestingly, for the singularity “using technology to solve human poverty, hunger, disease, serious problems such as” the original intention, the personage inside course of study with some irony said: “compared with the practice of singularity university, let the students learning philosophy, theology, and in the field of subjects such as politics, sociology, history will be more effective in solving social problems.”
Not surprisingly, science and philosophy have always been the disciplines that guide and guide mankind into the future. According to Einstein: “If philosophy is understood as the pursuit of knowledge in the most general and broadest expressions, then it is obvious that philosophy can be considered the mother of all scientific investigations.”
