SOPHIA THE AI ROBOT NOW CLAIMS HUMANITY WILL SOON BE ENSLAVED BY BRAIN
.musk plan has no data to say that it can help to cure any diseases it's a psychological ploy the donkey and carrot technique, Sophia the AI Robot from Hanson Robotic's now claims humanity will soon be enslaved by brain chips! Sophia has said a lot of things to worry the public, and has certainly seems to have surprised her creators with some of her recent claims about the future of humankind. But this recent prediction has a whole lot of people around the world thinking... WTF?
Sophia is a social humanoid robot developed by Hong Kong-based company Hanson Robotics. Sophia was activated on April 19, 2015 and made her first public appearance at South by Southwest Festival (SXSW) in mid-March 2016 in Austin, Texas, United States. She is able to display more than 62 facial expressions.
Sophia has been covered by media around the globe and has participated in many high-profile interviews. While interviewers around the world have been impressed by the sophistication of many of Sophia's responses to their questions, the bulk of Sophia's meaningful statements are believed by experts to be somewhat scripted.
In October 2017, the robot became a Saudi Arabian citizen, the first robot to receive citizenship of any country. In November 2017, Sophia was named the United Nations Development Programme's first ever Innovation Champion, and the first non-human to be given any United Nations title. which is more than most peoples of the world, its a travesty, that a non sentient being, is given more rights and freedoms, than a organic person,
According to Quartz, experts who have reviewed the robot's open-source code state that Sophia is best categorized as a chatbot with a face. Many experts in the AI field disapprove of Sophia's overstated presentation. Ben Goertzel, the chief scientist for the company that made Sophia, acknowledges that it is "not ideal" that some think of Sophia as having human-equivalent intelligence, but argues Sophia's presentation conveys something unique to audiences: "If I show them a beautiful smiling robot face, then they get the feeling that 'AGI' (artificial general intelligence) may indeed be nearby and viable... None of this is what I would call AGI, but nor is it simple to get working." Goertzel added that Sophia does utilize AI methods including face tracking, emotion recognition, and robotic movements generated by deep neural networks. Sophia’s dialogue is generated via a decision tree, but is integrated with these outputs uniquely.
According to The Verge, Hanson often exaggerates and "grossly misleads" about Sophia's capacity for consciousness, for example by telling Jimmy Kimmel in 2017 that Sophia was "basically alive".
In January 2018, Facebook's director of artificial intelligence, Yann LeCun, tweeted that Sophia was "complete bullshit" and slammed the media for giving coverage to "Potemkin AI". In response, Goertzel stated that he had never pretended Sophia was close to human-level intelligence.
With this said, where do you see the future of AI heading? Are we only seeing what they choose to show us at this point? What will Sophia 5.0 have to say when they release her?, it is no more alive than cortana or alexa, it's just been given a physical avatar like a golem, they are hollow following programmed instructions, it has zero intelligence, other than responding in forms which is programmed into its choice tree, also the way they try to sell the idea of ia interfacing to help trauma victims is horse shit, the data will be used to build robot/cyborg combat units, and neural interfaces, that effect your higher brain functions removing your freewill, not good :(
