TWC - Week 10

Hope i can still remember what was discussed in class last week!

Will robot ever be smarter than human?
In my opinion, it is possible for robot to be smarter than a human. Think about it. A robot who can do everything that it is programmed to do, can excel in mathematics, physics, chemistry,etc. Use this robot against a human born with IQ less than 50. Do you think in this case that human is smarter than robot? No, i don't think so.

Similarly, comparing this robot with a genius who can do what it can do, and even more. Like having free will to not perform a task, or having the free will to choose how to perform the task, or having the free will to shut down the entire system and proclaim victory by default? Now in this case, is human smarter than robot? Again, the answer is no. Because at this stage, people will say that it is programmed this way. If i give it artificial intelligence to learn from experience and think on its own, it can still be smarter than the genius.

To me, all these are foolish thoughts. Why even try to create a being that is way better than you and posing a threat to the society if misused? If it was all to satisfy the ego of human trying to prove that they are smart and have the ability to create something that is way more powerful than them, then indeed, human are stupid. As compared to robots? I wouldn't want to know.

Will robot overtake human?
On the topic of robots, people will look forward to the day when they don't have to do anything and just leave everything to these machines. However, my prof brought up an interesting idea! He says that maybe some country like India will ban the use of robots so that it will not take away the jobs of people. Since they have so many people.
