01.01.1970 //Uprising machines at hand?
Experts on the robot technology assert that to 2050 the anthropoid robots will become the part of our society. In the opinion...... of doctor Frank pollik, psychologist, who participates in the development of socially interactive machines, the "century of androides" no longer at hand. The attitude toward them of people is only obstacle for the entry of robots into the society. Pollik is counted: "people will accept the machines, when they begin grow side by side with them; moreover the degree of adaptation now is practically not predicted. Toward the end of 2050 the robots will fulfill the most diverse functions: to remove in the house, to work with the documents in the office, to help to handle patients, to entertain and to carry out dangerous tasks ". They has already been entertained even now robots the football, the hockey, they compete in the fist fights. Yearly are conducted the international tournaments, which draw a large quantity of enthusiasts of tens of countries of peace. According to the leader of the football command of the University of Texas of Pieter Stone, the contest of robots with each year become all more entertainment and it is more interesting because of the improvement of program filling. Stone hopes that soon the robot- football players can compete with the strongest command of people. But the ministry of the economy, trade and industry of Japan is seriously intended to create and to develop the industry of the production of robots. Cosmos, army and medicine traditionally first use all contemporary highly technological developments. Entirely this relates also to the robots - in space of man it is necessary to replace, in the army - to take care, in medicine - to cure. Moreover, the government of Japan is intended to change legislation in such a way that the robots could work in the hospitals and participate in the rescue operations on the law foundations. Them they learned to kill confirmation so that the robots sooner or later can prove to be threat for the man, there is already today. On the World economical forum in earnest discussion centered on the possibility of the war of people and robots in the future. Even now the robots, utilized for military purposes, can make decisions without the participation of man. The scientists of British university created the robot, which was capable to trace and to destroy the living beings. It is programmed to the search for tiny mollusk- wreckers. Robot processes the caught slugs and thus electric power is produced. This is the first in the world robot, whose profession - to kill. Thus, scientists arrived to the aid to English gardeners and to farmers, to which the slugs vexed. This now... In the "St. Petersburg lists" of 5 February, 2002, in article "robots hunt and are multiplied" it is described the experiment, which was being carried out in the English scientific center Of ma.gna under professor Noel Sharkey's management. In the pavilion converge two forms of robots - "predators" and "victims". The latter they call also "geliofagami", they are capable of independently obtaining energy, rolling to the nearest luminous sources and using "solar batteries". Larger anthropomorphous robots -"xi5niki" cannot use energy of light, but they can be charged from the batteries "of geliofagov". The purpose of "predators" is not simple the destruction of "geliofagov", but the output of energy for maintaining its own existence. As a result of war robots of both it is specific they are trained, becoming more cleverly. "victims" manufacture new strategies of flight, while "predators" - hunting. But also this not all. The robots, which lived until the "adult" state, obtain the possibility to load their electronic "genes" to the specially remote computer, which performs the role of "marriage bed"! Gene pattern for the following generation of robots will be created from the mixture of the genes of the parents: half of the codes from one adult robot and half - from another. "it is possible that" the predators ", after all, will learn to be gathered into the flocks and to hunt together, assumes professor Sharkey. - however it seems to me that first they must try to war for the "victim" with each other ". It will not prove to be in the future the victim of men? They very pessimistically look the number of scientists at the games with the artificial intellect. Well-known British scientific Stephen khoking asserts that, if we do not take now urgent measures, people will be destroyed by the artificial intellect! The fears Of khokinga shares one of the founders the chief developer of corporation "San Maykrosistem" Bill Of dzhoy. He stated that the development of computer technologies can create real danger for humanity. In his opinion, to 2030 will be created the computers, allotted by human consciousness. And that will become with the person, who voluntarily returned his fate into the hands of computer essences with the living silicic system, this a large question... Kiborgizatsiya of humanity is inevitable in the interview for the German journal "focus" professor khoking he said that the computer technologies after a certain time will exceed the possibilities of human reason. "in contrast to us, computers double their possibilities of every 18 months, so that danger, that they can develop the artificial intellect and take peace, is real". Khoking sees output in genetic engineering. It considers that with its aid it is possible to create superman - race with the large volume of the brain and the higher intellect. For this it proposes to first develop the systems, which make it possible to directly connect human brain with the computer, "so that the artificial intellect would serve man, but it did not contradict itself against it". In America the cyborg- industry works already to the utmost extent. For example, are opened the sites, dedicated to kibermode. Well and, as it is conducted, in THE USA here arose the motions on the protection of the rights of cyborgs. Entire Bill of Rights of the cyborgs is lined on one of the pages: "cyborg has right to the anonymity and particular life. Cyborg has right to the reproduction. Cyborg has the right to conclude marriage with the man... " Scientists term "cyborg" do not use; however, much makes for their appearance. Researchers from the university of the state of Kind- Island introduced into the brain three macaco- rheses hyperfine electrodes, after which they seated animals for the computer. The sensors, which record nerve impulses, simultaneously served as the input units of data, thanks to which the monkey obtained the possibility, for example, to move cursor along the screen of monitor one force alone of thought. The clever "users" rapidly learned to use their brain instead of the joystick. On the assertion of scientists, the experiments, with which the computer and living organism are connected "directly", are necessary, in particular, in order to facilitate the lot of invalids. If it will be possible to learn to govern electronic engineering directly with the aid of the nerve impulses, will be opened possibilities for creating the fundamentally new prostheses. But professor Stiv Menn of Toronto already more than 20 years it lives the life of the cyborg: it is constantly connected to the computer, under the skin to it are implanted the sensors, and on the head - glasses with the built-in display. On itself stiv is experienced many developments in the region of the nosimykh computers. Thus, with the aid of the computer, Menn has the capability not to see numerous advertising stands on the streets - they will recognize and their contents is substituted by any note, useful For mennu. The computer Of stiva can recognize the persons and is derived useful information if persona coincides with any preserved in the memory of system means. Menn became the part of its own system. Kevin Of varvik, the professor of cybernetics, also voluntarily became cyborg. Surgeons connected its nervous system with the computer. They implanted to professor silicone small square in the section on the left wrist. In the sensor is located 100 electrodes, each by thickness into the hairspring. Information from the sensor enters the receiver, which sends the "messages" of nervous system with the aid of the radio signal into the computer of the research laboratory of oxford clinic. The converted into the code signals of motions, like sheveleniya by fingers, either feelings, such as shock or pain, were recorded for the first time in the history of humanity. Scientists hope that this experiment will carry out coup in the region of treating the paralyzed people with the injury of spinal cord. But professor varvik believes also that he will open slightly doors into the peace of cyborgs, in which to human brain once, it is similar to computer, will make "upgrade" and will add additional memory, knowledge or, for example, the ability of night vision...
