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

that what humans created, the robots, can also be outlived by it. Towards the end of the story,

The rivalry between humans and machines has been present since the beginning og the the world. Trying to make the world easier for humans has been one of the life goals for society in order to crate a better world; however, those people don’t know that as society progresses the worse it is to introduce automated machines, Intelligent machines are a threat for society because it will increase unemployment and poverty.

With Robots becoming a popular part of our everyday lives people are beginning to question if people are treating robots with the same respect that they treat people with. Researchers are also beginning to wonder if there need to be laws to protect robots from being tortured or even killed. Scientists have done research to test and see if people react the same to robots as they would to actual people or animals. In Is it Okay to Torture or Murder a Robot Richard Fisher contemplates the reason on why it is wrong to hurt or kill a robot by using a stern and unbiased tone.

The room was filled with a deep, deafening unbroken silence for many minutes after, nobody moved, or even dared to utter a single noise. We heard the crashing noise of many supports and other structures falling from their support and as I moved towards the entrance, trying to open the door, it wouldn’t move an inch, clearly having been blocked by a pillar of wood and stone.

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

The great man tinkered with his little motor. He worked in an eerie silence. The echoes of metallic tools reverberated through the area. The workshop was very spacious, a large opened room with several cluttered work desk scattered about the area. Loose pages littered the tile floor, stretching from wall to wall; illustrated with the man's genius rantings.

With the progression of technology, we are losing our values as humans. In Jennifer Hick’s critical article, she talks about how there is no humanity in machines. She says, “Rather than feeling compassion or sympathy for the animal, the robot mice whir around busily... We are reminded that the rodent cleaners are mechanical, that feeling-those highly prized human emotions-do not exist in machines.”(Jennifer Hicks). What Hicks is trying to say in her article is that what makes us so different from machines is our emotions. There isn’t a way that we can duplicate that. Humans are creating all these different types machines that do one thing, but if something is wrong or broken it won’t stop to try and fix that situation because that’s not what

As two robots manage to override the system and it's 'directives' (as referred to by EVE) to progress their courtship and save humanity in the process. Whereas the robots who do stick to the task end up becoming the punch-line of all jokes — like Micro Obliterator (MO) — or causing mayhem; like Auto.

Lately there have been more and more smart machines that have been taking over regular human tasks but as it grows the bigger picture is that robots will take over a lot of tasks now done by people. But, many people think that there are important ethical and moral issues that have to be dealt with this. Sooner or later there is going to be a robot that will interact in a humane manner but there are many questions to be asked like; how will they interact with us? Do we really want machines that are independent, self-directed, and has affect and emotion? I think we do, because they can provide many benefits. Obviously, as with all technologies, there are dangers as well. We need to ensure that people always

Another issue brought forward from the movie is whether they should be given the same rights as humans. The movie shows us that the robots have three laws that they live by, the first one being they must protect human from any harm. This first law has a few issues in being that sometimes humans do not need to be protected, for example people who have committed a crime, need to be punished, not protected. The second law tells the robot they are to obey every order given unless it violates the first law. Even if the order is unethical the robot must still obey it. The third law states the robot must protect the robot its self unless it would violate the first two laws. If they were given the same rights as humans would set them free from their laws. Robots cannot function as human because they lack the ability to have compassion or emotion. Robots do not have the ability to make ethical decisions.

In “Who Can Replace a Man?’’ Brian Aldiss communicates a story about machines who rule themselves after man passes away. Though the machines are intelligent and strong all does work out in the end as they go back to obeying man. Through the relationship between machines and men Aldiss communicates that machines are ultimately dependent on human intelligence.

A naive child, standing tall against the deepening colors of an approaching sunset, felt the shudders of air through his skin. Vibrations erupted through the rusted metal and ancient wooden boards, leaving him to inhale the smoky wind as the beast arrived. A squeaking groan traveled its way up his skeletal figure as the booming became louder, headlights already in view from afar. He planted his feet sturdy between two boards, his usual routine. With his arms upstretched to the ever changing hues of the city’s ceiling, he screamed out-- a battle cry of frustration and sadness, mixing with stress and happiness all in one feeling. Words could not begin to cover the trials he must have gone through that week. The army of wheels charged against the ground beams covering more ground by the

Imagine, for a second, a not-so-distant future produced not by humans, but a dystopian society engineered by humanity's most amoral of computational artificial intelligence. Built without empathy by their equally emotionless robotic predecessors. Robots that make robots which make more robots, which could make more robots to divide and diversify. Robots that learn and develop based on their interactions, and robots that respond to a variety of external stimuli. Each robot has the capability to learn and store informational data. This matrix of machines uses the remains of our biological and chemical energies, humans: young, old, babies, adults and everything else that could no longer contribute to their robotic overlords, as batteries to power themselves as they systematically replace human life with their robotic and psychopathic need for efficiency. To perfection, for flesh tears and withers, but metal is eternal. But don't worry, these billions of robots have been provided with a manual of the Laws of Robotic Interactions with Humans ... to share.
