Metalhead: Black Mirror

Because of the increasing number of machines with smarts, we are facing “the inflection point” (301). However, our fixed views on intelligent robots such as demands that artificial intelligence should look like human, prevent us from realizing what is already happening around us. He states that to see how far artificial intelligence has changed our lives, we need to get rid of the fixed views. For example, an industrial robot named Baxter is designed for people to easily work right next to it and easily train it, which is the noteworthy feature that other robots fail to implement. Baxter is also cheaper than other robots, which means it is easy to install it. Although Baxter is not humanlike, it represents how robots are becoming advanced as stated

This article begins by outlining the tragic death of an artificial intelligence robot, named Steve. Steve’s accidental death, by stairs, raises a lot of new questions surrounding robots, and their rights. In his article, Leetaru, discusses the range of questions that have sparked from not only Steve’s death, but the rise of advanced robot mechanics. While the Silicon Valley is busy grinding out new plans and models of robots, especially security robots, how can we establish what a mechanical robot is entitled to? Leetaru offers many different scenarios concerning robots against aggressors, in hopes to reveal that these rights be outlined with the rise in usage of this technology. The article speculates how in the future, when these robots

In her article “Are Humans Necessary”, Margaret Atwood stated lots of facts and concerns about robots in future.

While Hollywood’s interpretations of futures where robots take over the human race are highly entertaining, the movie predictions may not be so far from present times. Take the example of the artificially intelligent robot Ultron, from Avengers: Age of Ultron, who was programmed with the task of achieving world peace. Without any specifications, he believed this goal would only be achieved by abolishing humankind. Artificial intelligence (AI), takes instructions very literally and the results will be disastrous in both a physical and mental sense when it starts thinking for itself. In essence, self-driving cars create moral dilemmas and safety concerns regarding artificially intelligent technology being programmed to coexist with humans.

Social media, networks, and news stations manipulate their posts and the fears of their viewers in order to generate more attention towards their media. The attention economy is a metaphor of the economic profit and the payment of the attention from viewers. In Danah Boyd’s article “Whether the digital era improves society is up to its users – that's us”, she claims that we “live in a culture of fear” and that “social media is magnifying the attention economy” (Boyd). Boyd in both her article and her public talk “The Power of Fear in Networked Publics” focuses on three types of fear: fear of the unknown, fear for the young, and fear of the young. She also discusses the fearmongering content shared through networks.

In comparison, the common archive use of the internet is about four and a half times bigger (My mind was definitely blown). The robot that was featured in the second half of the video was Watson. Watson is a supercomputer made by IBM director David Ferrucci. Ferrucci made the supercomputer and tried to make it have the human brain like qualities. He was able to make it have human-like qualities by doing an experiment.

Within the text of “The Robot Invasion”, by Charlie Gillis, Gillis discusses the advancement of technology and how it has impacted the lives of human-kind over the years. However, the view he takes on the topic is negative as he views it as impactful yet bad for society’s future. Gillis argues that, although many of the advancements could be impactful to today’s society in good ways the overall effect of a “robot invasion” as made out in Hollywood still leaves a bad taste in everyone’s mouths.

It reflects that technology has potential dangerous for people. In today’s world, we are going to experience the similar issue. Scientists are researching the robots and AI to invent autonomous robots, like human beings. They want these robots to replace people to do dangerous work. If the dream can come true, human beings will face the biggest challenge.

There is a man and woman drenched in sweat trudging away from a crumbling building as tumbles to the ground. Usually when humans hear the word robot it brings the image of the world ending or various items of technology. In today’s world robots are being created to do he hard dangerous things that most humans shouldn’t do such as welding or even painting. Those two activities both be very harmful to the human body. When painting the body can take in a lot of toxins into the lungs causing the workers not to be able to breath. If a robot was to do that job it wouldn’t have to worry about toxins because it wouldn’t be able to feel any pain. Eventually humans won’t even have to work because robots are going to be doing all the jobs humans should

When I think about a future involving robots I think of tv shows like “Black Mirror” or “The Jetson”. Where . Oddly enough this is not what Kevin Kelly had in mind when he wrote “Better Than Human: Why Robots Will- And Must- Take Our Jobs”. In his essay, Kelly argues that robots will take our jobs, but we shouldn’t worry.

Daft Punk are an iconic staple of the house music movement in the late 1990s, who helped to bridge the genre across into the next millennium. The duo, consisting of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, had a humble beginning in Paris, France, during the early 1990 's. The pair first met at Lycée Carnot, a Parisian school, in 1987 and soon discovered that they had a mutual love for music. With shared musical interests that ranged from David Bowie to AC/DC, they became close friends and formed an indie-pop band along with classmate Laurent Brancowitz, called Darlin ' (named after a popular song by one of their inspirations, The Beach Boys). Darlin ' was a short-lived project that released a few lo-fi cover tracks to no critical acclaim other than a write up by U.K. Based magazine 'Melody Maker ' who referred to one of their releases as “Daft Punk”. As Bangalter later recalled: “The rock n’roll thing we did was pretty average, I think. It was so brief, maybe six months, four songs and two gigs and that was it.” In 1993, De Homem-Christo and Bangalter attended a rave at EuroDisney in Paris that changed their outlook on music and the direction in which they wanted to pursue their correlative passion. There they met Stuart McMillan, owner of Soma Quality Records, and member of Scottish Electronica duo 'Slam '. Darlin ' soon disbanded, with De Homem-Christo and Bangalter breaking off to form Daft Punk, and leaving Brancowitz, who would later

What image comes to mind when one hears the words “Killer Robot”? If one visualises the laser-wielding android in Terminator 2 which threatens to overpower its defenceless human adversaries, one would not be too far from the truth[1]. Today, advanced robots capable of engaging a human target autonomously are no longer confined to fiction but are instead rapidly becoming a reality.

Despite all they have done for the world, robots have a very unique and extensive history of villainization. There will be many opportunities for them in the future to either make or break society. Popular theories of a robot war are often favorites, but a lot of the possible realities involve a much more passive takeover. Overall, robots are an important aspect to be educated about in this changing world. Simply understanding the implications of artificial intelligence can completely change its impact. Robots will be a part of the future, whether for the good of humans, or to their

Another big ethical issue raised in the move is whether or not robots could be used to fight wars. This ethical issue just likes the other in the fact that it revolves on the lack of emotional or compassion component of the robots. Robots can be programed for the protection of individuals but because of their lack of compassion or emotion they would not know when to stop the attack.

Hollywood blockbusters such as Terminator and Terminator Two have fueled the idea of artificial intelligence taking on humanoid characteristics and taking over the world. Let me answer the last question once and for all. It is not possible for a robot to think, feel, or act for itself, it may be programmed to mimic the actions, but not experience the real thing. We can program them to react to a certain stimulus, but a robot cannot and will never be able to comprehend, have feelings genuine guilt and much less act without the use of a programmer some were along the line. The second question is also a rather simple one. Of course there are robots that should not be created. For example, robots made for the sole purpose of mass destruction or robots made with the intention of harm to
