There is a series of robots, for example: if you are told (perhaps in a science fiction novel) that a certain "person" is a robot, how would you tell? For another example, what kind of performance a robot has to make, you can think that "he" is self-aware or has a sense of humor (Is it enough to output the word "haha" and then swing left and right). In fact, the question is not so much about how a robot counts as a human being, it is better to use such a thing created by a human to understand what a human is.
"I robot" is adapted from a collection of short stories by the sci-fi writer Asimov of the same name. However, after reading some comments, I found that the original work seems to be more exciting, so I will read it later.
At the beginning of the movie, the "Three Laws of Robots" were proposed as the behavioral norms of robots:
1. Robots cannot harm humans, nor can they ignore humans when they are harmed;
2. Robots must obey the commands issued by humans, only when the commands are possible Except when the first law will be violated;
3. The robot must protect itself, provided that the first and second laws will not be violated during the protection process.
The plot of the story is very "Hollywood". The father of the robot died, leaving clues and summoning the police officer Spooner who he had treated and killed a little girl because of the robot's "rational" calculations, and therefore had an instinctive aversion to robots, but his judgment was because he had Heavy personal emotional color, so not trusted by others. Then, with the help of the beauty psychologist Calvin, he began to doubt the CEO of the robot company. Later, the new robot NS-5 tried to take over the world. Finally, he created the "emotional" and unique robot Sonny created by the father of robots. With help, find the culprit: Viki, the intelligent brain, and erase her program, the world returns to normal.
The plot of the story is quite old-fashioned, and there are many philosophical issues involved, and the film gives some of the simplest explanations and solutions, which is quite arbitrary, but asking a Hollywood film to give the answer is also difficult for a strong man.
I really admire the "Three Laws of Robotics", which is concise and clear, and the logic is clear. All complex behaviors are derived based on these three mutually restrictive theorems that form a logical closed loop. However, there are two main reasons for the problem of this perfect robot behavior basis:
1) The "ghost"
film of "free will" says that some "ghosts" will be generated during the running of the program, and the random signal sequence is composed of Together, there will be some unpredictable actions, and it is possible for it to evolve creatively and become what we call "soul". This statement is similar to the term "redundancy" in The Matrix, except that "redundancy" refers to the developed "emotions" and love, and here it further becomes "free will".
The concept of "evolution" is involved here. Does the program have the possibility of self-development and self-improvement? In the film, the robot Sonny said that he would always have a dream, but later it can be seen that this dream was given to it by the father of the robot. The dream is only the second link of the clue. If the robot really has a "dream", then it may also have a "desire", and with it the expansion of desire, it is not impossible to have the idea of dominating the world.
On the one hand, "evolution" is related to certain physical characteristics. For our current existence called "biology", that is physiological evolution, but on the other hand, developmental psychology also tells us that "evolution" is very important. One component is "learning ability", and the initial motivation for "learning", some people say is "curiosity", you can look at it this way for the time being. In Sonny, one can see the power composed of curiosity-learning-mastering-creative use. For example, his “learning” ability squeezes his eyes, which represents a kind of tacit understanding and trust.
The reason why Sonny will help humans in the end is that it has "emotions." Under the control of "emotion", he felt that Viki's approach was too cruel, so he helped humans eliminate Viki's program. But what is "emotion"? From a rational point of view, Sonny agrees with Viki's statement, and he has made his own "choice". Is this "choice" itself "free will"? And behind the choice, are there any decisive factors, such as the will of the father of robots? If so, can Sonny call it "free will"? When he finally stood on the landfill and looked at the rows of robots below, he felt a sense of "king over the world". What choice would he make?
2) What is "harm" and what is "good"
Understanding of the theorem. The same words will have different understandings. At the end of the film, Viki's words are very representative. In her view, human behavior is tantamount to self-destruction. For the "sustainable development" of human beings, robots must take over the world, just like children need parental discipline.
What is for the well-being of mankind? Viki's statement sounds familiar, "Because you have messed up your life, so I should make the decision for you". This is the basis for parents to discipline their children, and it is also the theory that some centralized powers rule the people. What is good, and who should judge it?
Is it good to have freedom, or is it good to not have freedom? And what is this freedom, are we talking about the same content? Communication is based on everyone using the same language system and having a unified understanding of what is said. Without this foundation, communication is impossible. Different interpretations of the "Three Laws of Robots" turned robots that were originally harmless to humans into a kind of "ruler" that could sacrifice some people to allow humans to continue their development.
How is rule possible, and what is the rationality of rule? If robots have indeed developed more advanced functions than humans, then why can't robots come to dominate the world?
There are a lot of questions that are not clear. The answer given by the movie is very simple, but there are many questions raised. What is the difference between humans and robots? How big is the difference between Sonny with emotion and Spooner with robotic prosthesis? Will think about what it means? In "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", the diary that will communicate with people, of course, we later learned that this is Voldemort's Horcrux. At that time, Ginny's father said: If something can think, you must read it. Where is its brain. But seeing where the "brain" is, such as the brain center of a robot, what can it prove? So I found that I couldn't distinguish between humans and robots.
