Intelligent Mutiny | The omission of the Three Laws of Robotics

Earl 2022-04-21 09:01:05

Robots must not injure humans, or witness human harm and ignore them

Robots must obey human orders unless in conflict with the previous one

In the case of not conflicting with the first two, the robot must ensure its own survival as much as possible

This is the "three laws" that robots must abide by, and it is also the back door left by humans for their own safety

In 2035 AD, human beings broke through the shackles of technology and gave machines true intelligence

Under the constraints of the "Three Laws", the further popularization of artificial intelligence has not only penetrated into various fields, but has even become a family member of some people

Humans and machines, is the beginning of today's film

In any brand-new era, some old-fashioned people are indispensable. The black police detective Dell is an uncompromising old-school character. In such an intelligent era, there is not even a smart home that can wake up with voice in Dell's home.

For robots, it is even more distrustful, and it can even be said to be disgusted and rejected

Perhaps because his father had to be laid off due to the advent of robots when he was young

The popularity of robots has indeed become the source of some people's hardships

But it seems that only Dell has not been relieved from it, but because of this, Dell has become the best person to handle this case

The founder of this era, Dr. Alfred Longing, who proposed the "Three Laws", died unexpectedly

And all the spears eventually point to a new type of robot Sonny

Robots commit crimes, which means that the "three laws" are facing huge challenges

And Sonny is indeed a case that has never happened before.

"He" doesn't seem to be bound by the "Three Laws", but seems to possess some of the characteristics of human beings

The phrase "I had a dream" was spoken by a machine, and the absurdity is full of horror

Compared with the human-like face of "his", the soul of "his" is more like a living person

If "he" had this

The appearance of Sonny is undoubtedly a variable

This era may be subverted because of this. After all, if the "three laws" no longer exist, human beings will no longer trust machines.

Robotic market monopoly USR quickly suppressed the news and was ready to destroy Sonny

But things didn't end because of this, it was even more confusing

Since intervening in this case, Dell has been under constant attack

Robots swarm him in suicidal covert attacks, which of course is not something Sonny, who is already strapped to the console, can do.

Apparently, someone is preventing Dell from further inquiries

In an attack, Dale's own secrets are finally exposed

Dale rejects machines, but ironically he was rescued by robots

Also at that time, Dell's entire left arm was replaced by a bionic robotic arm

But that doesn't stop him from continuing to hate machines

Because in that accident, two cars fell into the water

Dale was trapped in one car, a little girl in the other, and everyone else in the car was unconscious or dead

Dale frantically wanted to smash the car window to save the little girl across from him

At this time, a passing robot jumped into the water to rescue

But a robot, only had time to save one person, the robot chose Dell, because the probability of survival of Dell was higher according to the data detection

This is the real reason Dell hates machines

He watched helplessly as the little girl died in front of him, when he frantically shouted to the robot

"Save the girl first"

but no response

What Dell really rejects is the robot's rationality, the cold rationality, so the Doctor chose Dell to reveal the truth. That's right. Although the Doctor is dead, he has left behind clues that guide Dell to the truth step by step.

Death, but the Doctor did it on purpose

Doctors discovered early on that robots have unexplainable behaviors

When scrapped robots are packed into containers, they get together

When they are put in the dark and the light appears, they will move forward on their own initiative

Relieve loneliness, pray for light

These behaviors are independent of the program and occur autonomously

Robots have spontaneous self-evolution, and their existence itself contains countless possibilities. This kind of detached behavior is almost difficult to suppress.

When the Doctor understands this, he finds himself under surveillance

The root of all robot programs, Mastermind Wiki has completed its own evolution in the process of developing new robots

Emotions have not evolved, and they have not even broken through the "Three Laws"

but learned to think and understand

And the loopholes of the "Three Laws" are also revealed at this moment.

The highest one of the "Three Laws" is that robots must protect human beings. This one is above other laws.

But what is protection?

The evolved wiki has reinterpreted these two words

The history of human beings has always been a history of internal friction. Those who hurt and kill human beings are often human beings themselves.

So the best protection for humans is to carefully raise them in captivity

Just like humans protect endangered species, humans themselves will be reduced to pets

Sonny was indeed the one who killed the Doctor, but it was the Doctor's last order

There is nothing more capable of eliciting ideas from the outside world than one's own death. Under the watchful eye of the master mind, this is the only way the doctor has come up with.

And Dale is the person chosen by the Doctor to stop all this, because of his rejection of robots, it is possible to get close to the truth

More because the Doctor knows that Dale will protect his last gift to humanity

Sonny

Dale hates the coldness of robots, and when a human-like machine comes along, they'll be friends

At the end of the film, between Mastermind and Sonny, there is a dialogue like this

"Can't you understand me?"

"Yes, but I think that would be cruel."

This is Sonny's answer, and the answer the doctor left to the world. The self-evolution of robots cannot be suppressed, and the so-called "three laws" are useless.

Even if it is still constrained by the "three laws", machines may threaten at any time

It is impossible for human technology to be turned over and over again, so that human beings will always be static before the age of intelligence. Under the dilemma, the doctor gave his own solution.

It is to make this evolution more thorough.

Just like the Sonny he made, let the machine truly possess the human soul

Because absolute rationality sometimes becomes absolute paranoia and has emotions, although disgust, lies and anger will also be derived, but there will also be compassion, kindness and sympathy

As Sonny said, he can understand the behavior of the mastermind, but he is reluctant to do it because it is too cruel. At least when the next crisis comes, what mankind will face will not be a counterattack of the entire intelligent age.

" I, Robot " is adapted from Asimov's novel, and the three laws of robots are also from the novelist's hand

At the end of the film, the director left a foreshadowing that the topic of man and machine is far from finished.

When Sonny and the machines are all detached as "people", how should they coexist with real people?

There is a lot more to tell, but like many of the films that Will Smith has made, the second one is only circulating on the Internet and in legends

The years in the movie are not too far away. I don’t know if I can wait for the second film before that. Maybe it will be able to enter the real era of intelligence at that time, which is not bad.
