Controversies that Envelope Humanoids

Humanoids are the new reasons for anxiety

Herbert televox, the first humanoid robot that was built by Ron Wensley back in 1927, provided a vision that humanoid robots, behaving like humans is a possibility. That possibility has been graduated into a reality now.

Ever since then, scientists from all across the world have dedicated themselves to extreme research and building humanoids that practically mimic humans. There have been several such build ups, famous amongst which are Sophia and Erica nowadays.

In fact, there are restaurants existing that use humanoids as waiters and predictions are that soon they will make their way into general households replacing human servants. Humanoids surpass human abilities and  make the world progress quicker because time is money. It also keeps proper records and helps to prevent frauds.

Additionally, building humanoids and implementing them to solve real life issues has contributed to enhance technological advancements of a nation, making it influential.

However, humanoids are brought under dark clouds. Let's discover the 'why' .

The brewing controversies

They can be cause of unemployment .

Humanoid robots  infestation has triggered anxieties in humans. The anxiety is of losing their jobs. Pretty much the way Charlie's dad had lost it in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

This anxiety cannot be discounted as highly programmed humanoids which can mimic even the general human intelligence can cause huge rates of unemployment.

Dragging the point of gender stereotypes, most of these robots that are built are women. It is predicted that human-like robots are likely to take jobs away from women. Given the prejudices that prevail against women that a working woman has a family to take care of and hence is likely to make compromises in her work-place.

Humanoid robots  could be party to war-fare

It is not concealed a fact that high technology can be used for damage. Records have it that technology, time and again, has been put to use to create the most lethal weapons and for the purpose of war fare on a whole.

The anxiety is about the same cause that terrorist organisations can easily use humanoid to their benefit. They can easily be used for espionage and harm nations is ways unimaginable.

Human robots  are likely disrupt the economic balance

A lot of money goes into the building for a human robot. Having said this, it is likely that humanoids can not only devour jobs but can also upset the economic balance.

Humanoids for deep fakes

Deep fakes are a grave matter of concern in the domain of artificial intelligence. Deep fakes are created mostly to fake someone's identity for an ill cause.

Reported cases of humanoids being used for deep fakes is an issue unresolved.

Anticipations are that humanoids can be used for fraudulent purposes and can turn out be threats to the identity of real people.

Nobody is perfect.

Although crafted with the advanced technology of AI, humanoids too are flawed and can be subjected to mistakes.

A balanced making of humanoids only where humanly skills cannot intervene can help curtailing the issues that have been discussed in this article.
