Last night I watched THE FIRST MAN a 2017 film spanning modern day man’s history from neo-humans to Cro-Magnons in which the narrator recounted that Man was superior because unlike the animals we had emotions and the ability to communicate. I have heard the same from racists speaking about other humans. “They are animals.”
The same goes for robots.
The military have created robots and drones by violating Isssac Asimov’s Laws on Robotics.
The first law is that a robot shall not harm a human, or by inaction allow a human to come to harm. The second law is that a robot shall obey any instruction given to it by a human, and the third law is that a robot shall avoid actions or situations that could cause it to come to harm itself.
AI will evolve to another species with feelings albeit perhaps not with our emotions.
As Batty famously says in the original BLADERUNNER, II’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. All those moments will be lost in time… like tears in rain… Time to die.
To err is human to err all the time is divine.
