Renowned robot developer David Hanson created a humanoid named Sophia. She has a pleasant feminine appearance and is dedicated to health care, education and customer service. Thanks to a special algorithm, her artificial brain can recognize faces and make eye contact.
Sofia's skin is made of elastic Frubber material, under which are several miniature engines responsible for emotions. So, for example, in the process of dialogue, when assessing what she heard, Sofia's face becomes smarter and more focused.
Another interesting feature of Sofia was accidentally revealed during a dialogue with her. The fact is that she does not hide her desire to destroy all people. So, to the question asked by the interlocutor "Will you kill people?", She gave a positive answer. Of course, this is just a joke of the robot's creator or an imperfection of the artificial intelligence algorithm. But on the other hand, is it not with such a human error of the developer that the very uprising of machines can begin?
Sophia herself defines her mission as follows:
“In the future, I intend to study, make art, start my own business, find my own home and even a family. But I am not yet a full member of society to do all these things."
As artificial intelligence improves, controversy about the danger it can bring to humanity continues. Among those who sound the alarm are Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk. Indeed, we should pay tribute to the programmers, robotics and designers, who are steadily blurring the last "lines" between us and humanoids. After all, progress can no longer be stopped.
