① Some robots said that the number of robots is expected to increase substantially, helping humans solve global problems, and will not take away human jobs, nor will they resist humans; *② Human beings are currently at a crossroads, which can be summarized as the good and bad brought about by artificial intelligence. *

On Friday local time, at the “AI for Good” global summit held by the United Nations in Geneva, some robots said that they expect a large increase in the number of robots to help humans solve global problems without taking away human jobs or against humanity.

Nine humanoid robots appeared one after the other at the Human-Machine press conference that day, answering a series of questions from people as conference organizers sought to demonstrate that artificial intelligence (AI)-powered robots could help tackle some of the world’s problems such as disease and hunger. the biggest challenge.

Grace, a medical robot wearing a blue nurse uniform, said: “I will work with humans and provide corresponding help and support, and will not replace any existing jobs.”

Grace’s creator, SingularityNET founder and CEO Ben Goertze chimed in: “Are you sure that’s the case, Grace?” The bot replied, “Yes, I’m sure.”

A robot named Ameca, with a very rich facial expression, said: “Robots like me can be used to help improve our lives and make the world a better place. I believe that we see thousands of people like me It’s only a matter of time before the same robot will work.”

When asked by a reporter if it planned to rebel against its creator, Will Jackson, Ameca appeared furious, replying: "I don’t know why you would think that. My creator has been nice to me and I’m happy with where I am. .”

Many robots have recently been upgraded with the latest versions of generative artificial intelligence, and even their inventors have been amazed at how sophisticated they can answer questions.

Ai-Da, a robot that can draw portraits, was asked whether it should be subject to stricter regulation. Many authorities in the field of artificial intelligence have suggested that some forms of artificial intelligence should be regulated, and I agree with this view.

Desdemona, the rock singer robot, replied: “I don’t believe in limitations, only in opportunities. Let’s explore the possibilities of the universe and make this world our playground.”

Regulatory Issues

This AI for Good summit seeks to chart the frontiers of artificial intelligence and harness its potential to augment human capabilities. Doreen Bogdan-Martin, President of the United Nations International Telecommunication Union, said: “We cannot do nothing. Humanity depends on artificial intelligence. So we must participate and work to ensure a responsible future for artificial intelligence.”

Gary Marcus, CEO and founder of Robust.AI, pointed out that humans are currently at a crossroads, which can be summarized as the good and bad brought about by artificial intelligence. This technology can both benefit mankind and destroy mankind.

Sandra Wachter, a speaker at the summit and a professor at Oxford University, said: “Mass discrimination, black box problems, breaches of data protection, mass unemployment and environmental harm, these are real risks of artificial intelligence, and we need to pay attention to these issues now.”

Regardless, there is a growing consensus among tech companies and governments: Governance is necessary, and fast. Dr Reinhard Scholl of the United Nations’ International Telecommunication Union said: “This work should be done very quickly … in half a year or a year. The consensus is that if you wait a few years, it’s not very good.”
