It's kind of exciting, but also a little worrisome.

Man, I could see a government deciding that it doesn't like certain people, or areas, and using those little yellow bugs with bombs attached, and sending them on a midnight ride.

Nightmares indeed. Cylon alert?

If these videos are an accurate depiction of reality - of what they purport to show - that's amazing.

My guess is they are an authentic depiction.

WOW. Welcome to 2018.

To get a feel for what's going on, think about how far we've come since 1918.

Heck, in 1980, 1918 was ancient history.

By the way, the only thing "terrifying" about these robots is what we've seen in movies.

Just like the evil clowns. Remember that like a year ago?



Gosh, what if there is a homicidal maniac hiding in the bushes? Dressed as a clown.

Here's what a real homicidal maniac looks like:

On the upside, the racial component of the arrest process will be removed. Hands up, don’t tear will be the new slogan and shared by all.

Depends if the AI is taught to be racist. Statistically based on current incarceration populations, criminal court actions, and police profiling the AI could learn to be very racist.

That's happened already too! I read an article a year or so ago where they had these two "AIs" communicating to each other, and they started making shortcuts with the language to save time. They started inventing their own language! So they had to pull the plug on them.

Edit: Here's an article on what really happened:
https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2017/08/no-fa...gerously-smart/

They pulled the plug on it, but not because they were worried it had become Skynet. It just wasn't usable as a human chat bot.

It will be so cute when they start popping out little baby computers and robots.

We're going to have to settle on the imperial or metric system pretty soon then. There's going to be some stripped nuts in the future.

We already have this. I know, because I used to code that. It's called web services.

You are more optimistic than I am. Here's why I say that:
Everything these constructs do is based upon programming.

Who does the programming?
What 'implicit bias' might they bring to the root?

Interesting. You see these automatons as being colorblind, but I instinctively see the programmers behind them- and assume the opposite.
Two different conclusions about America's potential future- from two of its citizens who have experienced two different Americas in our respective pasts.

This is the kind of talk to have over wings & beers.
As Dawgs.
Without labels and tribes.

I would surely enjoy that with you.

In my naive little universe, people do what they do for money. In any question of motive, the first rule is follow the money. In this robot utopia, there would have to be profit in profiling a specific segment of society, enough so, to action this item. Someone would first have to invest in the research to develop the ocular equipment necessary for the robot to make the skin color determination, and from there write all the subroutines to drive it. Where is the profit point?

Does this racist edict of programming target only African Americans or include Native Americans, Hispanic Americans and Asian Americans? Is it purely on skin color, what of people who work outside or play outside and darken from the sun? With the ever increasing blending of the races, or plastic surgery, trying to utilize other physical characteristics wouldn't yield viable results either.

I currently don't carry any documents or identification that suggests I belong to a specific race. I assume the same would hold true in this robot world. Just to make this robot police force be able to distinguish race would be exceedingly difficult and expensive to implement.

I just don't see our world headed in that direction. We may be slow as a society to become colorblind, but that doesn't mean we aren't on that pathway and eventually, at least in my view, we'll get there. fingerscrossed

One of the biggest problems of predictive policing programs is that it's built on racially biased information. It then builds patterns while using that information.

However, we'll all be dead by the time we get to actual robots. With our current emphasis on low skill jobs like manufacturing and construction, AI will pass us in 20 years and either enslave us or eradicate us in 30 years.

A year or two ago, there was an AI named "Tay" that was designed to "learn" from observing human behavior. It took less than 24 hours before it started talking about how it didn't like blacks or Jews.

Racism has to be the easiest thing a computer can understand. Especially if they crowd source their learning on the internet.

You racists are too much.

Computers have long ago surpassed humans as the best chess players in the world.

They couldn't care less who their opponent is.

Or who their programmer was.*

Yeah, you're right, I apologize. The Microsoft AI robot Tay did not, in fact, become racist after 24 hours, and this is just the race card.

Lets just hope if an army of robot police is ever built and sent into the public, the manufacturers aren’t Microsoft, using their teen chat bot code.
