Student topic (Wednesday)

Hey people, Bruno here 

Please read this article: http://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/google-buys-eight-robot-companies-including-military-contractor-1.1596455

It's a simple and direct topic, so please watch the videos and dig about AI, robots and Google.

Google is getting in AI and robo business. Including they have a military contractor especialized in building robots and software for human simulation.

So, my questions are:

1) What do you think Google wants with such technology?

2) It's possible that Google is financing future weapons?

3) In the future, robots could help? Or could be a threat?

4) if they suceed someday, they are combining AI tech, with robots and human software. That means they are creating non-biological humans. Their software will problably be able to simulate feelings. So, if in the future a robot kills someone, it will be considered murder or accident, malfunction?

5) A personal last question. Do you think human beings are advancing in technology fast or slow?

  1. 1) If Google make enough profit in future, it will be good for Google.

    2)I'm not sure whether they may make weapon robots or not. But If USA offer them to make weapon robot, they might make that. Because....let me tomorrow.

    3)Some of them might be able to help.

    4)It is dificult....but I think it is not murder even though robot kill human.

    5)In my opinion, It's advancing fast.
