There is not a certain week passing without comments from either the government, stakeholders, private entities, or consumers involved in Robotic and Artificial Intelligence. Concerns had been generated by humans at large every single day on the advantage (industrial growth and dynamism) and the disadvantage which could be a deadly catastrophe as seen in major sci-fi movies.!
The introduction of robots in the industry is not new. We can even say that it was a pioneer in the use of robots, especially in production chains. Recently, there has been a realization that this movement no longer affects only production tasks, often manual and repetitive, but also the service sector and more skilled jobs. One example, among many others, is the development of autonomous vehicles. The impact will be very important for the transport and logistics sectors. But they are not immediate since the marketing should begin around 2020 and a deployment of certain types of vehicles should not be operational before 2030. Be that as it may, a new industrial revolution is underway and, like the previous ones, it will have a strong impact on uses, processes, trades and more generally on the economy. Why is there much negative concerns by people in this beneficial industry? The answer to this from my opinion is the confusion brought about by sci-fi movies created around the globe.
ARE ROBOTS TOTALLY REPLACING HUMANS?
For many, AI and robots represent the empowerment of autonomous and conscious machines that only aspire to take the place of humans in some industries such as manufacturing. The problem here is not being able to differentiate between products from human imaginations from real-life developments. Our ability of deep imaginations and social interactions makes us think that machines have the same capabilities as us.
In order to be able to differentiate the imaginary creations from real-life developments, Experts had been able to identify the six levels of intelligence which can be defined in comparison with humans:
- Subhuman for specific tasks e.g chatbots.
- Equivalent to a human for specific tasks e.g autonomous vehicle or the popular sex doll.
- Superior to most human intelligence for specific tasks e.g AlphaGo.
- Superior to all human intelligence for specific tasks.
- Superior to human intelligence for a majority of tasks (Artificial General Intelligence).
- Ultimate artificial intelligence (technological singularity).
Level 4-6 are still imaginary products.
Despite the challenges such as economic, societal and environmental, this industry is needed in all spheres of the human life and that’s what Project Kepler (https://www.keplertek.org/) promises but went one step forward in integrating this multi-billion dollar industry with the blockchain. The project tends to integrate all people from all walks of the earth. The partners on this project include Government, Academic environment, Programmers and Developers, Investors, Founders, Technology suppliers. The consumer side focuses on the products that would be beneficial to manufacturing industries, households, entertainment industries, the medical related field just to mention a few.
