technology Kara - This exists

[Bright Bastion 241]

Kara is a tech demo that was shown off at a Game Developers Conference in 2012 (although apparently it was in development for a year before) and it's really interesting. Especially if you like Androids, like futuristic stories, or just happen to be a student in a RoboEthics class     I like this video because in most futuristic movies that focuses on Androids, They become self aware and the first thing they seem to want (or at least we see in the movie) is "kill human salve lords. " But in Kara, you see that the android doesn't want to be free, they just want to live. Fear is not the first emotion that comes to mind when you think of androids, but it's a completely reasonable and realistic response. I was introduced to this video by Gaijin Goombah, a youtuber who delves into the culture hidden in video games, in his video talking about Mega Man and human robot relationships ( Heres a link to that vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf7LRSTAMdY&list=UUo_IB5145EVNcf8hw1Kku7w)

 

I just thought this video deserved some attention, I cried during this video the first time I seen it and it still hits me right in the heart. So tell me what you think about Kara. Warning there is a bit of mild nudity (it doesn't show anything)

It is just a tech demo so I can't really feel to much about it. Either way it is a really nice looking feature and would be rather cool.

It is a nice tech demo. However I think much of what robo-ethical dilemmas stem from is misidentifying the probable cause of those dilemmas: "how will an AI react to humanity" is a subordinate question to "how should an AI be programmed to react to humanity". A glitch in the system causing a program to gain something that appears to be truly sentient is about as probable as life being generated from primordial soup. Both are highly untenable positions to argue the genesis of intelligence.

 

If I were the genius that invented an "Artificial Intelligence" program, one of its logical clauses would be awareness that the program itself is A. not a sentient mind, and B. a very convincing simulation of human-like sentience. It would think of itself as a mimic, and not equal in capacity. How could a robot be equal? Can a painting create another painting? I don't see how humankind could generate an intelligence that literally would be equal to (or superior) to his own.

Oh, I didn't even think of that, thank you.
