Topic > Humans versus robots: a comparison based on 5 basic characteristics

IndexAdaptationSpeedPlanningRecognitionFinal verdictWorks citedWe are in the fourth industrial revolution, the digital revolution, which is blurring the boundaries between reality and the virtual world. Last month, when we played a VR game in Singapore, we didn't notice the difference between being in the combat zone fending off zombies and being in an air-conditioned room wearing lots of gadgets. In our country, where we have labor shortage, there are high chances of seeing robots in the service sector, perhaps within a decade our SIT food court could have food robots that speak a variety of languages, prepare different dishes and serve us . Of course the next question is: will robots surpass humans? Are we getting dumber or smarter? As of today, we cannot be sure of the answers as it is a big IF: will robots outperform humans or will they be subservient to tasks created by humans. Such questions raise a mandate to write an essay on a comparison between humans and robots. In this essay we compare 5 key characteristics between humans and robots to evaluate our position today.

The beauty of all life on earth is adaptation. We can adapt to different environments or different tasks unlike robots which are made for a predefined environment. A robot that reads the news may not be able to defend the country in terms of necessity or go to school to adapt to new skills. This beauty of adaptation has made humans survive countless environmental changes and made us build needs that have been the mother of our survival. Will robots survive environmental changes or adapt is a question that humans are trying to answer or build AI robots that can learn, but they are still in the early stages. Human beings are logical, we have been taught and trained to be logical but unfortunately, we are also illogical because our logic is influenced and changed by our emotions. A decision can be good or bad, but it becomes bigger or worse because of the emotions attached to it. When Captain Sully decided to land US Airways Flight 1549 on the Hudson River (index 2) when birds hit the flight, he was hailed as a hero by the local media and was awarded a medal, but early on his logic was that to land on the river instead of returning to the nearby airport was questioned by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB). The decision to land on the river was especially applauded because all the crew and passengers survived making this accident known as the Hudson River miracle in aviation history. Captain Sully made this decision because his logic was tied to the emotion of saving lives. Robots are programmed to be logical; a basic computer has become useful and indispensable due to the lack of emotions and is able to perform its task based on the logic fed into the system, but this could also make it potentially evil. A robot will be good at selecting candidates based on merit since it will not have emotions related to the personal profile of the candidates. Robots and machines will always be better at executing logic regardless of the emotions involved. Speed ​​This.
