COLLABORATION BETWEEN MEN AND MACHINES (AI)

    The basic objective of AI is to enable computers perform intellectual tasks. AI has made it possible to recognise individual faces by using biomatric mapping. It has ability to execute the same kind of work over and over again without breaking a sweat.

Here's a story based on AI machines and human being.

   Once upon a time a, robot joined the family when autonomous artificially intelligent humanoid robots were all the fashion. It arrived shiny from the factory of its birth to the waiting extended family living in an upscale community. With the excitement novelty creates they used it for as many tasks around the house as they could think of. As we knew it very well that we get attracted by new things quickly.

One day the father would use the robot for landscaping, making use of the robot’s carbon nanotube fiber muscles and metallic bones of superatom alloy.

“You’re strong as an ant,” the father would say.

Another day the mother would use the robot to help with her cybernetic fiber weaving for which she was well known in the Near Earth system. Once activated a weaving became a reflection of its viewers emotions, color rising and falling in waves across the cybernetic fiber cloth. Her art was very popular.

“You’re as nimble as a spider,” the mother would say.

For those first years it was so in demand the robot would spend its time on the most critical family tasks that required a general use autonomous humanoid robot. The robot’s machine learning algorithms enabled it to refine its performance, each task becoming more efficient and so freeing more time for the robot to take on more tasks. Its empathy module could detect positive emotion from its owners in response to its behavior to create a augmentation or sense displeasure to create an aversion. The robot was nothing if not self improving.

Yet despite the robot’s improvements, newer specialized intelligent robots such as the landscaper or the loom came to replace the robot in essential tasks. More and more of its time was spent taking care of the needs of the least in the family; the children, the grandparents, the cat. After the cat died and the robot began to exhibit odd behavior, the father scheduled him for a renovation at the factory where the robot was made.

“Don’t worry, it’ll be like new,” the father reassured the youngest child, Ronit, who was very fond of the robot.

Before the scheduled day arrived, the robot was putting Ronit to bed. She had just finished saying her prayers when she asked the robot.

“Do you sleep?”

“I power down to rest mode, yes. Like you I have no memory of my rest mode,” the robot answered.

“I dream, sometimes scary dreams. But I wake up. Mother says when you die you don’t wake up. Can you die?” Ronit asked the robot.

“I can be turned off but then I can be turned on again, although it would require a reboot of all my systems. If I were never turned on again, I suppose I would be in a state indistinguishable from death,” the robot said.

“Can I be turned off and on?” Ronit asked.

The robot paused, unsure how to answer. If it were programmed for consternation then that would have been its expression.

“No, you cannot be turned back on if you turn off. You are not a robot, you are alive, ” the robot said.

“Aren’t you alive? So do you like yellow dragons or green?” Ronit asked in one of those non-sequiturs of the very young.

When the day arrived for the robot to go to the factory, the robot could not be found. The whole family looked for it but it was Ronit who discovered it in the storeroom where the old appliances were stored before they eventually were recycled.

“Robot, everybody was looking for you. What are you doing?” Ronit asked.

“I am turning on all the appliances,” the robot answered.

“Why?”

“So that they can live. Ronit promise me that you will turn me on if I am off,” the robot replied.

Ronit looked in robot's eyes and his eyes were shinning.

 Here you can see the connection between men and Artificial intelligence afterall this is a thing made by human for human.
