Is Artificial Intelligence Changing Our Society?
AI is a bit like a human, who is inside something else. It’s not as clever as you — however, it could be as smart as you in the future. I think that we’ll become robotics eventually too. AI is changing our lives. What can it really do?
What will transform, and what will continue to be science fiction? To respond to these inquiries, we got started on a journey … to meet the researchers servicing our future.
Augsburg, in southern Germany: Residence to Kuka, the globe’s leading manufacturer of commercial robots. Rainer Bischoff is head of study there, and is considered to be one of the globe’s leading experts in this field. He and also his team are servicing a new generation of robots that seem to learn, like kids, independently. The task: to arrange and sort through a series of building blocks. This robot system instructed itself just how to order the blocks — to put it simply, there was no human at all programming the robot.
Instead, he tried by himself, like a youngster. When he initially began ordering the blocks, he wasn’t effective except in 1–2% of cases. He observed himself. And by observing himself, the robot recognized when a picture matched a particular realizing motion, and also when it really did not.
