Since the first appearances of the robots in sci-fi books, humanity has been plotting about machines destroying us. As a result, people have directed plenty of movies like “Terminator,” “Bladerunner,” or “I am a robot,” which discuss how dangerous robots are and why they can rebel against their creators. But are those threats really that big of a deal for us?
Soon, you will discover our thoughts on that and find out why we think robots can’t conquer the earth soon.
Robots behavior in the modern era
Are there any robots nowadays that are capable of capturing the earth? Well, you can try to look for them in your pocket. Mobile phones are some of the smartest gadgets that are owned almost by any human. But can they really harm us? Not really. On the opposite side, they can bring us positive emotions, like experiencing new slots at your favorite casino or chatting with your friends.
But what are the conditions required for robots to conquer us? We think the couple of components you see below are the bare minimum needed for robots to start threatening us.
High-level robots’ artificial intelligence
If the robot doesn’t have processing power like the human brain, its stats should be at least close to that. If it is not, the robots simply wouldn’t be able to find answers to all the weapons humans will use to fight them. The machines that can potentially destroy humans must be capable of designing thoughtful plans and strategies to fight and win their creators.
But what is interesting is that not every robot has to be intelligent like a human. It can be just a couple of them, or even one. It is because even a single, smart machine can start programming other robots and mechanisms so that they would stand against humans.
Robots must be all around the earth
Nowadays, the bigger part of our planet has no robots on its side. To conquer us, robots must be located in each corner of our globe and communicate with each other to coordinate their moves. The robots’ evil plans might be too hard to execute as long as the robotic machines are not extremely cheap and in open access.
Humans must be too ignorant
You should understand that humans in charge of creating artificial intelligence know all the risks much better than you. So why should they make a robot which can become a real threat to our lives?
Even if the world’s best scientists started massively producing robots similar to Sophia (who openly jokes about destroying humanity), their models would have the strongest protection mechanisms ever.
How soon can robots attack us?
If you will research to inspect how fast the technologies grow, there is a high chance you will be impressed. By 2010, artificial technologies had made a huge leap, but after, their development slowed down. Maybe the biggest brains on our planet have already foreseen that machines will cause the death of us, which is why progress is intentionally slowed down. Or the smartest robots possible have already been created, but they are not exposed to the masses as they undergo testing. Anyway, those are just figments of one’s imagination.
In reality, we should understand that a real robot revolution that may destroy our race is immensely far away. And the only thing a casual human should be afraid of nowadays is their phone lagging in an inconvenient situation.
