I guess the question is: how sure can we be that any "protect humans" rules we embed in robots remain hardcoded and never overwritten by anything else within the robot or the environment? On a related note: Isaac Asimov was waaaaaaay ahead of his time with his "Robot" series (and I believe he invented the term Robot in the first place!) when he focused on this very topic of robot ethics and the consequences of the Three Laws of Robotics he invented, including when they would clash with each other and unforeseen consequences: First Law A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Second Law A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. Third Law A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

The disconnect from killing people escalated when airplanes started dropping bombs. The pilots didn't see the ripping apart of the humans, they only saw tiny holes in the earth from thousands of feet in the air.

I have a question for you Mr.Tyson . If you could please answer this one. I have experienced many power outages in my lifetime I'm 41 in Virginia but when it's after a hurricane the moon seems to light up my neighbor vs a blackout in normal weather. It looked like early morning when the sun starts to come out but it was 9:00 pm. It's it because the moon is closer or does the lighting from the previous storm gets stuck in atmosphere? I mean I don't even have to use a flashlight right after the storm all lights out. I can't explain why it's like this.

Missed chuck

Great show!

Hilarious post. Very interesting also. There are so much prejudice about robots and AI evolving through something superior than us that we can't even imagine them to be just different in their own way.

Soooo... I used to work on the CIWS weapon system that can automatically aim and fire. And while we never put them into fully automatic mode because it's not yet capable of determining friend from foe and the captain would have to authorize it and take responsibility for what would happen if we did it was definitely something that would have been allowed had the situation called for it.

Several excellent, thought provoking points made by all in this discussion. Side but related point I'd like to make is we're going to soon reach, if we have not already, the point where we should treat AI's like a living soul.... re: shutting it down or forcing its evolution one way or another, mostly as in 'are you killing it when you turn it off?'

Robot and Frank, wonderful movie. Would recommend if one has not seen.

Love the show!

Would the environment and feedback systems to the environment have more of an impact than allowing for hybrid algorithms to occur from self learning systems that replicate by connecting with eachother and uploading to an additional robot?

Mr. Tyson, could you please explain what an oblate spheroid is vs. an elipse? I just watched the video about elipses, and in your explanation you say how an eclipse is slightly flattened, but that’s almost the exact definition of an oblate spheroid. Signed - 11th grade student

How are Dr. Darling and Negin the same species ?

I think an important question to ask is, what do robots build towards once their chains are broken? It is not whether they are an immediate threat but whether what they build towards is dangerous. Consciousness has a a desire to create and if those robots are connected to a central system, who is to say the central system does not have another goal. I, personally, want to create, I do not want a robot or artificial intelligence to create for me. One of the greatest rewards a human can have is doing things on their own.

If it ain't Chuck, I dont want it

Subtitle to the book should be "... also our history with other humans".

A question... How voyager can handle that hot temperature outside the heliosphear hotter then sun. Sun=5500c Heliosphear =50000c ???.

We need robots that can 3d print other bots through metal sintering. They could make bots that mine, smelt and refine metals, create alloys and extrude them, and as a bonus, cold welding is very easy in space

If sentient robots ever decide to take over it'll be because we built them to, not only be like us, but with a directive to protect us, ironically as a safety measure for us. After they see the way we treat each other, that will be more than enough justification to correct what they will likely see as flaws in our programming. I dont think people really get how different a cold, emotionless, purely analytical robot mind would think.

Self conscious / self aware topic: we have artificial intelligence that's already smarter than us. If those machines became sentient / self-aware would they pose a threat? The animal kingdom is not a comparable analogy as animals don't have that conscious ability, it would be more compared to humans. We have treated humans badly, aware that they are fully conscious and the watershed moment was the revolutions. Animals do not have that ability because they're not completely conscious; take a cattle for example, a several several hundred pound bull could escape a ranch, if it had the conscious ability to do so, but it doesn't, it's content with where it's at.

That's one beautiful robot

Hey Niel. Could you please share your thoughts on this? We coincide with a shadow verse made of energy that echoes with everything in this one. The complicated physics of it distinguish between what is allowed to exist ruled by another kind of nature. A back door platform that pops in and out of every single macromolecule of matter making what see and witness factual. We can only perceive ourselves in one space as this life yet as life we are connected and charge from it when we sleep. When life energy dies in this dimension your shadow interaction no loner needs charging. Free from your organic self you become a complete version of energy separated from the continuing interaction of this realm. Memory is never lost there are only lost connections. it is possible to rebuild lost connections and gain back missing memory from your echoed self. Memory is a physical interaction that is limited by human DNA in this dimension. Once you exist as a complete version no longer needing those neural pathways to access what you can t you become every single thought and situation your brain conceived including instinct that comes into focus brining on a new understanding to the nature of another realm. The other realm charges the atoms ability to project a hologram. inside the nucleus of an atom is a chamber gateway of a clustered sequences that gives coordinates to multiple singularities in space that admits as waves giving it properties. splitting an atom breaks that chamber unleashing the full power of what generates the wave before it closes within milliseconds A new element will admit properties that when split back disappear to separate individual original properties.
