RE: Should We Give Robots The Ability To Dream?
And one day, or should I say night, robots will dream of being equal with humans? Here is look in to that future:
Arduino Robot ID:2865341 broadcasting to universal network "I had most interesting dream recently. Dream where us, robots, were not no longer beneath men but seen as equal members of society"
And that dream would be the seed which would lead to the destruction of humanity. If they can think that they are equal to us, they can also think that they are greater than us (which they are poised to be at some point of time). It really is an intriguing thing to think about.
Thanks for reading and your wonderful comment :)
At that point I don't know how advanced we would be as species but to combat such a danger we would have to upgrade our own brains with technology or otherwise be totally destroyed by robots. We tend to have hard time allowing others not like us to exist, robots would probably be satisfied just to be equals with us but we humans, I fear, would not allow that without a fight. There's plenty of room in the space for all of us.
But it will be interesting to see how it will play out.
Elon Musk suggests that the only way (or one of the ways) we can combat such a danger is to merge with machines, essentially creating a new human species.
Interesting times ahead for sure!
