In an article entitled “2084: A Big Robot Monitors you, “professor of robotics at the University of Sheffield Noel Sharkey predicts the emergence of a new world in which tasks surveillance, security and law enforcement in more transmitted to artificial intelligence.
In the next 30 years, Sharkey is sure, “Humanoid walking robots will be used to ensure order in sports games, during strikes and riots. They will patrol the city centers and adverse areas where outbreaks are very likely violence. ”
“Robots will have a very high level of speech recognition and will be able to ask questions and respond to answers. “What is your an identification number? What are you doing here? Come on in. “They will be able to work in a team and arm themselves with non-lethal weapons (e.g. tasers or nets) and go on calls to resolve difficult situations and the arrest of suspects, “adds the professor.
In addition to performing routine tasks like checking tickets or removing bullies from social events, they will also be able to “spray over a crowd of RFID sensors or any futuristic equivalent so that participants in this event can will be tracked even after the crowd is dispersed, “writes Sharkey.
By 2070, according to the professor, robots will become indistinguishable from people, and will be able to apply intelligent swarm technology, which will make “escape from them impossible.” Robotic police cars will drive through the streets scanning car numbers and automatically debiting fines from their bank accounts owners.
Professor Noel Sharkey openly warns that the fleets of DARPA robots that the military claims designed for “humanitarian” and “rescue” purposes, in fact actually designed to kill.
His warnings are confirmed by Human Rights. Watch, as well as former intelligence officer Lt. Col. Douglas Pryer, who wrote a hazard warning article ruthless “killer robots” that will be used to tracking human targets in the near future.
In April of this year, Pentagon scientists announced that they managed to create a machine that functions just like the human brain, and allow robots to think independently and act autonomously – which, of course, does not dispel concerns about the applicability of such machines.
