Right now, he says, Zeno is "still a long way from human-level intellect, like one to two decades away, at a crude guess. Asimov's ideas enthralled geeky children everywhere, a generation of whom grew up to try to realize them.ĭavid Hanson is a believer in the tipping-point theory of robot consciousness. Fifteen years later Isaac Asimov created his Three Laws of Robotics, which proposed a future world where humanoid robots would (1) never injure a human, (2) obey all orders given by humans, and (3) protect their own existence only if doing so didn't conflict with the first two rules. That one ran rampant and had to be burned at the stake, much to everyone's relief. The quest to create conscious (or at least autonomous) humanoids has been one of our great dreams ever since the golden Machine-Man spellbound the 1927 world in Fritz Lang's Metropolis. When i was a child and I imagined my future life, there were definitely talking robots living in my house, helping with the chores and having sex with me. I hope you won't hold this little, um, lapse against me, will you?"
Oh, this is terrible! I guess I'll just have to keep evolving, getting upgrades to my neural circuitry, spend less time daydreaming. 'Oh, silly-minded robots,' you might say to your friends. "I can't think of anything to say about that," says Zeno.
