The IQ and EQ of Robots

Who knows Rosie from Jetsons?

Rosie is a robot and the maid and housekeeper of the Jetson family.

Rosie is a mostly blue robot made of mostly metal.  Mostly pointed upwards, they can move slightly to show different emotions, such as pointed towards each other to mean sad, or pointed outward and horizontally to show anger. Occasionally, her eyes can light up. Her head is mostly cylindrical.

She can clean the house by herself, use conventional cleaning materials such as feather duster, and operate the other household appliances. When at home by herself, she functions as a security system and house sitter.

Today, although smart homes and furniture save us time, we still need a companionship with whom we can share our feelings.

In this podcast, the robotic process at home, its effects on our lives, programming and physical of the intelligence and emotion parameters of robots are discussed with Boris Sofman,Dave Touretzky and Hanne Tidnam.

Boris Sofman is a co-founder and CEO of Anki, an entertainment robotics company. As an engineer and researcher, Sofman has extensive experience in building diverse robotic systems from off-road autonomous vehicles to bomb-disposal robots. Sofman is making it his life’s mission to push the boundaries of entertainment to create consumer products that people would not expect to be possible, all powered by robotics and artificial intelligence.

David S. Touretzky is a research professor in the Computer Science Department and the Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition at Carnegie Mellon University.

After listening to this podcast, I'm one step closer to the idea that robots like Rosie will be our best companionship in the future.

Hanna's this comprehensive question "How are humans beginning to forge relationships with these robotic and how will those relationships develop?" You should listen to this postcast without wasting time to find the answers.

"A compelling invitation to imagine the future we want"

How do we predict the date something will happen? Many works, whether scientific or not, point to a time with their own scales about the future. Blade Runner: 2049, Cyberpunk 2077 or 2062 is the time when artificial intelligence will reach the human level, as predicted by Toby Walsh.

So why 2062 ? Professor Toby Walsh says in an interview with Dr Waseem Akhtar that he has 3 answers to this question;

1. The average of the years predicted by 300 colleagues,

2. Choosing a name they can't refuse because the book publisher chose the title of their first book

3. In 2062, his daughter stated that she chose this year because she would be the age when he wrote the book.

Toby Walsh is a leading researcher in Artificial Intelligence. He is a Laureate Fellow and Scientia Professor of Artificial Intelligence in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at UNSW Sydney, and he is also an adjunct fellow at CSIRO Data61. He was named by the Australian newspaper as a "rock star" of Australia's digital revolution. He has been elected a fellow of the Australian Academy of Science, a fellow of the ACM, the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) and of the European Association for Artificial Intelligence. He has won the prestigious Humboldt Prize as well as the NSW Premier's Prize for Excellence in Engineering and ICT, and the ACP Research Excellence award. He has previously held research positions in England, Scotland, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland and Sweden. He has played a leading role at the UN and elsewhere on the campaign to ban lethal autonomous weapons (aka "killer robots"). His advocacy in this area has led to him being "banned indefinitely" from Russia.

In this fluent interview, which I listen to like watching a science fiction movie Professor Toby Walsh discusses his latest book ““2062: The World That AI Made”

Although the expressions "The End of Us", "The End of Work",”The End of Consciousness”, "The End of War", "The End of Human Values", "The End of Equality", "The End of Privacy" ,”The End of Politics”, “The End of  the West” in the book "2062: The World Made by Artificial Intelligence" reflect a pessimistic view, the professor's "The End is also the beginning of something" it is actually a beginning" gives hope for the future.

Although, morality and privacy in AI, how its effects on human anatomy and social life make some of us nervous about ethical issues, it is very clear that they will make our lives easier and add innovations.

In 2062, professor Toby Walsh touch on the impact AI will have on work, war, economics, politics, everyday life and even death. Will automation take away most jobs? Will robots become conscious and take over? Will we become immortal machines ourselves, uploading our brains to the cloud? How will politics adjust to the post-truth, post-privacy digitised world? When we have succeeded in building intelligent machines, how will life on this planet unfold?

Each question reminded me of a different Black Mirror episode:) the answers are like simulated.

If you are into science fiction movies like me, I recommend you to listen to this interview to learn and clarify the future of artificial intelligence based on scientific research.
