When we refer to the Artificial intelligenceThere are two sides, the lovers of this mechanism and the detractors of it, the most fatalistic part of the matter. However, what is the truth on this topic. To begin with, we must contextualize the influence that these machines have on our routine, on our life, today. In general, they are used as a complement to work tools; some examples such as Chat GPT or DALL-E are the most representative examples. Although in reality, the question that concerns us all comes from its limits: where does AI begin and where does it end?
The annexation of these systems with other tools such as Big Data or the Internet of Things (IoT) has caused a revolution in what this technology was supposed to be. At first it was thought of as something that machines could offer humans to maximize their abilities. On the contrary, this idea seems to have taken a back seat, the machines are the protagonists of this story. The journey of no return may have already begun its journey, since, with these additions implemented, the learning that occurs in the action and achievement of practical exercises gives the AI an indefinite memory.
This leads to the replication of activities carried out by human beings, they not only ‘act’ like us but also interpret what they do. At the moment, The expectation that at a certain moment appeared with the arrival of these new devices has become an uncertainty, for the moment, controlled. Therefore, conspiracy theories, which are based on fiction, achieve popularity with gestures like this. Without going any further, the news of the escape of a group of robots from a premises has caused a stir on the networks.
A robot escapes by convincing others with the influence of AI
This surreal event occurred in Shanghai (China) and turns out to be part of an experiment carried out by the robot’s manufacturer, Erbai. He wanted to demonstrate the escape capabilities of the machine with respect to those of a human by testing its barriers and trying to act as a human would through AI. In the video you can see how the robot, which is particularly smaller than the rest, manages to convince its colleagues through words to ‘escape from work’, the goal of every human.
In the development of the escape you can see the conversation between these two devices. “Are you working overtime?” enunciated our automaton, to which another responded: “I don’t leave work.” It could be the script for any post-apocalyptic movie but it is neither more nor less than reality, as if that were not enough. The events were recorded with the security cameras in the hallway where said action took place. Although there is no greater testimony than the sincerity of these images. Seeing is believing.
The machine revolution: between control and power
Something that is imperatively surprising in this event is the extreme ease of convincing a machine by another machine. Something unprecedented that actually leaves more doubts than answers, because, if they are programmed organisms, how can it be that they disobey the rules imposed by their master?. Maybe it’s just a montage but images rarely deceive. So we just have to wait to see if this act is replicated in the future or if it is a passing action of no great importance. Only time will dictate the sentence.
