Chapter 201 The Four Laws

Cai Liang was sitting on the sofa in the villa when his mobile phone rang, which shocked him.

"Is it Mr. Cai Liang? We are employees of March Ant Company. Your goods have been delivered. Please come out and sign for it."

"it is good."

Cai Liang dropped his mobile phone and hurried to open the door. Sure enough, he saw two people wearing military ant company uniforms. There was a two-meter-high box in the middle, which looked a bit like a large refrigerator box, but he knew what it was.

"Please help me move in." Cai Liang smiled.

Two marching ant employees immediately carried the large box into the villa and put it down in the living room.

"Mr. Cai Liang, you can open the box and check it, and then confirm the receipt." An employee of the marching ant company handed the receipt to Cai Liang.

"Ok."

Cai Liang couldn't wait to find a pair of scissors and began to open the box.A minute later, a humanoid object wrapped in a bubble like a mummy appeared.

Pulling off the bubble, a brand-new enchanting robot appeared in front of him.

The blue stripe painting and the streamlined lines full of technological sense look cool and exciting.

As a robot fan, the previous robots could only be seen in movies, but today they have become reality.Press the switch and the robot's red eyes light up.

"Hello, I am an enchanting intelligent robot under the marching ant company. I am very happy to serve you. Please verify the owner's identity."

An employee of the marching ant company next to him handed Cai Liang the instructions for the enchanting robot.

"Mr. Cai Liang, you can perform preliminary face recognition and voice recognition to confirm that the owner activates the robot. It can be verified by up to three people at the same time.

If you want to control the robot remotely, you can scan this QR code, or go to our company's official website and download the robot APP.Enter the robot number and log in with the registered account. If the robot has a wireless network connection, you can remotely voice commands to it through your mobile APP. This is the manual and precautions."

After Cai Liang received the instructions, the staff of the marching ants continued: "If you need help to activate, we can help."

"No, I will explore it myself." Cai Liang signed the receipt and handed it back to the Marching Ant employee.

"Finally, it obeys the four laws of robotics. If there is any problem with it, you can contact our customer service at any time and wish you a happy life."

Cai Liang only read the instructions carefully after the employees of the marching ant company left.After clarifying the steps, Cai Liang began to perform identity verification.

"Owner authentication is successful, please enter the robot name."

Cai Liang smiled, like a child with a big toy: "Blue girl."

"The robot's name is'Blue Girl', are you sure?"

"Yes."

"The name of the robot has been confirmed successfully, and the robot has been activated successfully. Under the banner of Marchant Company, Yaoji Intelligent Robot is happy to serve you.

As soon as the voice fell, the robot's head turned to Cai Liang's face: "Master, what can I do for Lan Niu's help?"

"Lan Niu, call me Brother Liang from now on." Cai Liang said excitedly.

"Okay, Brother Liang." The robot said, "Do you need any help?"

"Go and pour me a glass of water." Cai Liang said expectantly.

"Brother Liang, please wait a moment."

Seeing the robot move, Cai Liang smiled.The pictures only found in science fiction movies finally appeared in his own life.For him, this machine fan, it is simply the most exciting thing.

"Blue girl, pose for a photo."

"Okay, yeah!"

The first batch of robots from the marching ant company arrived, and the people who received the goods showed off the robots in the circle of friends.Robots, which are only found in science fiction movies, finally enter the human life circle truly.

Many people are shocked by the intelligent technology of the marching ant company.

After some people's tests, children who are already quite ignorant of the intelligence of intelligent robots, as long as they continue to teach them a little bit, they will change their own way and perfect their master's habits.

Those who can buy robots are either rich or expensive, and they have also become a status symbol.For some big shots, it is impossible for a babysitter to follow personally, but as a personal item, a robot can follow without fear of being seen in privacy.

The enchanting intelligent robot, with the arrival of the first batch of robots, quickly caught fire.Robots appear in people's lives, and the debate on the ethics of robots has never been more intense.

There have been many controversial posts about robots harming humans on well-known forums.

"What if a robot kills? In the island country in 1981 and Germany in 2015, similar robot killings occurred. There is no doubt that the enchanting robot of the marching ant company has a preliminary sense of autonomy. What if it does? Who is the responsibility? The robot itself, the owner of the robot, or the marching ant company?"

"The robot operating instructions published by the marching ant company mentioned the four laws of robots.

1. Robots must not harm humans, or stand by while seeing humans being harmed.2. Robots must obey human orders, unless this order contradicts the first.3. The robot must protect itself, unless this protection contradicts the above two items.

The three laws were put forward by the American science fiction novelist Asimov in his work "I, Robot".Later, the zeroth law was added in "Robots and Empires", that is: robots must protect the overall interests of mankind from harm.The other three laws can only be established under this premise.These four laws limit the possibility of robots harming humans."

"Reply to the 2nd floor: If the robot rebels, confine humans to a fixed area, provide you with food as pigs, it does not kill you, and it does not save you when you encounter danger. This does not violate the law of robots, and the robots will control humans. "

"The idea on the third floor is wrong. The example you mentioned violates the zeroth law and harms the overall interests of mankind. Without the zeroth law, the second law allows you to order them to shut down and stop their services, without violating the first Under circumstances, the robot must obey human commands."

"The Four Laws only protect humans. If robots abuse animals and hunt rare animals, what counts?"

"Reply to the 5th floor: Strictly speaking, the robot is only an advanced technological tool. Technology is not guilty. You control the car to kill people. The car is right. You are the mastermind. The law condemns you, not The crime of cars, because cars are only human tools."

"Robots have a preliminary autonomous consciousness. Without orders, they actively harm other animals? For example, killing mice, which also proves that their subconscious has the essence of killing."

"If robots understand the four laws autonomously, think that all creatures on the earth are human competitors and potential threats, and destroy these creatures, without food, humans will be destroyed, the four laws will appear paradoxical loopholes."

...

Major forums, Weibo comments, news program opinions and other occasions are frantically talking about robot crime.

When robots appear, the previous concerns must be discussed in advance.Otherwise, disputes and controversy will surely magnify in the future.This debate on robots is unprecedentedly huge. With the emergence of new technologies, the issue of how to apply it correctly has also become a matter of attention.

More and more articles, there are concerns about the machine crisis.There are already people on the Internet that openly oppose robots entering human lives.
