Google’s Most Advanced Robot Brain Just Got a Body
Google has taken a new leap forward in AI, building its most advanced natural language processing into a helper robot that can understand (and act on) normal human speech. CNET’s Claire Reilly speaks to AI expert Stephen Shankland about what this tech means for the future of humanity. 0:00 Intro 0:38 How the Robot Works…

I have no idea why a Multi Billion Dollar Company cannot incorporate all of the current advancements into one scenario to give the AI system it’s best ability to succeed. For example…, Imagine that you had no ears, no skin or tactile touch, no abillity to sense temperature or humitidy, no smell etc. It would be darn near impossible to function in the real world. We have the synthetic skin, biosensors for humidity, temperature, wind, smell, pressure, hearing etc. etc. They need to incorporate every last physical sense into the machine to give it the best chance of understanding it’s environment and then understanding what it is and how it relates to that environment. Right now, they’re sending a steel can down the hallway with vision. How can that ever succeed… Come on Google and the like. Get it together.

That’s gonna cost too much. Any company could do that. But who is going to buy this 10 million dollar robot? Maybe the military. But that’s not everyday robotics. You need to build a robot with minimal cost so everyday people could one day afford it

@McKay Not about the money. They have that. This isn’t about profit. It’s about R and D. If there is to be a breakthrough, there has to be real world tangible, biological connectivity. Without it, the Synthetic is doomed to a dark room

I’m all for the advancement of basic technologies and I guess this is a good platform for development but in terms of the use case shown here, nobody needs this, robotic home servants is not what humanity needs from the technological sector, how about using AI for developing low cost universal manufacturing systems for decentralizing and localizing production of products allowing greater diversity and quality to emerge in the market, or something like that

The way it picks up the pop can and turns it upside down. They would need to fix that, if you had an already opened can and you asked the robot to bring you it so you could finish it.

I’m loving reading the comments on this video – some of you genuinely excited, some of you genuinely terrified… and some of you a bit of both! It’s interesting that we’ve had the language processing side for a while, but when we put it in a physical form like a roaming robot, it really shifts our perceptions of the technology 🤖

@ölümsüzler I’m an arm-chair philosepher who believes that “conciousness” is little more than a working-memory powerful enough to make long-term decisions; not loosing a sense of self from moment to moment, and a life of memories to build on. I’d argue that a dream is conciousness without the real-world inputs (senses). By my definition, we’ve achieved artificial conciousness, with the memory of the Internet, and the bias of those who have the most access and time on the internet. That’s not something I want to make too many decisions for me or have the ability to cause me physical, financial, or social harm (concepts that might yield different results in AI than we would prefer.)

I like the idea of having a robot companion which supports me in the homework, educates me and my family with school/university education content, diverse information and entertains me with nice conversation about everyday things. But i doubt, that those will be affordable for people with a midrange income. Only the high society might be wealthy enough to get one or two of these for their house. 10 – 20 years time window … i even think that those new robot buddies will be available a little earlier.
Elon Musk and his company Tesla will also get in this market soon and their self driving car A.I. will be easily able to handle the terrain inside a house. Navigation is not the only problem to overcome, thats for sure, but i am sure Elon Musks company already works on software for a supportive A.I. in any imaginable way inside and outside of a house.
The only thing that is absolute necessary is that they obey the 3 laws of Asimows law for robots.
And those laws must be protected from overriding…because mankind is evil and will try to disengage those to abuse the robots for crimes vs. humans.

This is or will be like a iphone moment. A lot of firms or people will do a lot of things til the breakthrougt happend. Like in the early days of the internet or just before the iphone. A lot of good ideas will emerge and will be swooopt away be the next big thing. To be successfull you don´t need to do one thing right, you need to do 10 things and build and system around it. And i should work. Not all the time. there are updates for. But at leased you should have the next siri, google assisent with real world value. Robots will happen, the question is and will be, will we accept them and will we trust then and we be able to affort thenm.

The more we learn to depend on technology as a race, the more at-risk we are when the technology isn’t availble. As I raise my kids with screen’s in front of them, able to answer any question they can think of, I think it’s awesome for my kids, but then what about those who come after? It’s not a question of if, but WHEN a solar flair hits us hard enough to fry the satellites and maybe even our tech on the ground. As much as I LOVE the idea of an ever-helpful and knowledeble robot, especially one that can recall my photos/videos; the more I think that should be my future, after my kids have their own, and so long as such tech can exist; not something any younger, able-bodied person should try for or else we might cross that invisible point-of-no-return that sends us the way of the character humans in Wall-E. 😛

We are getting closer and closer to human extinction. This might look all good and well for NOW, but this is just a step forward for A.I. to having a suitable body and to have “Self Awareness”. Why don’t companies like Google design robotics to be an extension that will allow a Paraplegic to walk or do things on their own?
