Rise of AI robotics Part I

There comes a time in human development when we have to think of ethics. Normally people think, "oh ethics, like treat people nice...right?" Right there i will slap you in the face if you say that to me. haha. No serious..i will. Forgetting the dumbness of id say 60% of the society i live in, i think the upcoming issue is of robotic ethics. We as humans have the drive to do two things; tred into the unknown, and replicate nature. Naturally if you look around you...right now in fact...you will notice that much of what humans create is a direct replication of good old mother nature. The clothes we wear, the buildings we build...all slight alterations and replications of nature. The ultimate replication many believe is that of ourselves. There is the thought of cloning...been there done that. Just test tube that, old news. I'm talking about AI robotics. The advancement of robotics is amazing. From the amount of processors engineers can squeeze into just the arm of a prosthetic (which im writing a report on...thank you!), to the power applications being invented to drive these robots. It is hard, but not impossible to create human like robots. Its being done all over the world. The hard part is making them human. How do you make a machine human. We as humans naturally apply life like characteristics to lots of things...animals, stuffed toys, cars, and many other non-lively things. But to create an artificial life form is the ultimate goal. We have made leaps in the direction. Some robots are able to do face recognition, object recognition, limited speach and path orientation. All of this development is progressing at an exponential pace. Now you may be wondering what will this all come down to? ultimately it will come down to the concept of "The Point of Synergy." This is the point at which a robot can think by itself and recognize its own existance. Top scientist predict it to come within 20-30 years...around 2030. This day will be one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs since the splitting of the atom. But the question will ultimately be...will you be ready? Will you be ready to accept a life form other than organic? It is coming. So whether you have thought about it or not it will arrive and when it does there is no turning back. There will be no off button. Once self consciousness is met, there is no turning back; thus the reason for the term "Point of Synergy", all the pieces come together for the end goal, artificial intelligence.
