I follow the achievements in the development of artificial intelligence and robotics. Boston Dynamics is one of the most famous and progressive robotics companies. I admire their latest achievements (they taught the robot to do somersaults). This is the company that in the past bought coproparation Google. But after a certain time they were bought by a Japanese company. (if I'm wrong in righting).
Nevertheless, I am personally impressed by their success. Initially, these robots were designed for military purposes. But now they are moving in different directions. Robot-dog (various sizes and with different functions). But most amazing humanoid robots. It is because of such robots some are afraid of them. (compare with terminator).
But the point is that the artificial intellect will look different. In films, we are frightened that robots will walk the streets and they will enslave people. In fact, we hear daily about such things as "smart watches", "smart aatomobiles", "smart TVs". and so on. That is, artificial intelligence is not something that will be focused in humanoid robots. This is not true. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, not just in robots. Therefore, some people are mistaken.
In the near future, we will be surprised by new opportunities. Technological progress is excellent.
Thank you for the interesting article.
