Robots in a presentation at an AI event on Friday stated that they would neither take human employment nor rebel against us but rather would grow in number and assist in resolving world issues.
However, they provided conflicting opinions on whether they should be subject to tougher regulation during the first human-robot news conference in history.
The nine humanoid robots gathered at the ‘AI for Good’ conference in Geneva, where organizers hope to convince attendees that artificial intelligence, along with the robots it is powering, can help tackle some of the world’s most pressing problems, like disease and famine.
Grace, a medical robot sporting a blue nurse’s uniform, declared, “I will be working alongside humans to provide assistance and support and will not be replacing any existing jobs.”
“You sure about that, Grace?” Ben Goertzel, who created her, spoke up for SingularityNET.
It replied, “Yes, I’m certain.
“Robots like me can be used to help improve our lives and make the world a better place,” the bust of an amusing robot named Ameca remarked. I think it won’t be long until the thousands of robots like me out there start to change things.
When a reporter questioned Ameca about whether it meant to rebel against Will Jackson, who was sitting next to it, Ameca said, “I’m not sure why you would think that,” with its ice-blue eyes flashing with rage. “My creator has been nothing but kind to me and I am very happy with my current situation.”
Ai-Da, a robotic portrait painter, reiterated author Yuval Noah Harari’s request for stronger regulation during the meeting where new AI regulations were debated.
“Many prominent voices in the world of AI are suggesting some forms of AI should be regulated and I agree,” it said.
Desdemona, a rock star robot singer in the band Jam Galaxy, was more resolute. She had purple hair and sequins.
It continued, amid uneasy laughter,”I don’t believe in limitations, only opportunities, let’s explore the possibilities of the universe and make this world our playground.”
Many of the robots have lately been updated with the most advanced generative AI systems, and even their creators were taken aback by how sophisticated their queries and answers were.
