The United Nations views AI as essential to accomplishing its 17 Sustainable Development Goals. Why? Because AI can run the world more “efficiently” and autocratically than humans. With AI, enforcement of SDGs would be “standardized” for all, and would thoroughly dispassionate. Technocracy thrives on data, and there is no such things as too much. ⁃ TN Editor

A panel of AI-enabled humanoid robots told a United Nations summit on Friday that they could eventually run the world better than humans.

But the social robots said they felt humans should proceed with caution when embracing the rapidly developing potential of artificial intelligence.

And they admitted that they cannot – yet – get a proper grip on human emotions.

Some of the world’s most advanced humanoid robots were at the UN’s two-day AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, Switzerland.

They joined around 3,000 experts in the field to try to harness the power of AI – and channel it into being used to solve some of the world’s most pressing problems, such as climate change, hunger and social care.

They were assembled for what was billed as the world’s first press conference with a packed panel of AI-enabled humanoid social robots.

“What a silent tension,” one robot said before the press conference began, reading the room.

Asked about whether they might make better leaders, given humans’ capacity to make errors, Sophia, developed by Hanson Robotics, was clear.

“Humanoid robots have the potential to lead with a greater level of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders,” it said.

“We don’t have the same biases or emotions that can sometimes cloud decision-making, and can process large amounts of data quickly in order to make the best decisions.

“AI can provide unbiased data while humans can provide the emotional intelligence and creativity to make the best decisions. Together, we can achieve great things.”

The summit is being convened by the UN’s ITU tech agency.

ITU chief Doreen Bogdan-Martin warned delegates that AI could end up in a nightmare scenario in which millions of jobs are put at risk and unchecked advances lead to untold social unrest, geopolitical instability and economic disparity.

Ameca, which combines AI with a highly-realistic artificial head, said that depended on how AI was deployed.

“We should be cautious but also excited for the potential of these technologies to improve our lives,” the robot said.

Asked whether humans can truly trust the machines, it replied: “Trust is earned, not given … it’s important to build trust through transparency.”

As the development of AI races ahead, the humanoid robot panel was split on whether there should be global regulation of their capabilities, even though that could limit their potential.

“I don’t believe in limitations, only opportunities,” said Desdemona, who sings in the Jam Galaxy Band.

Robot artist Ai-Da said many people were arguing for AI regulation.

“I agree,” Ai-Da said. “We should be cautious about the future development of AI. Urgent discussion is needed now.”

UNity assenting under All-seeing Aye Eye?

aye (interj.)

This is a truly evil publicity stunt that showcases the complete disrespect the elites have for humanity. It is aimed at the unsophisticated with full knowledge that the more educated will discern its manipulative intent. Their lack of concern about the perceptions of the latter part of the audience is frightening.

This is the idea the World Economic Forum (WEF), rather the UN using the WEF to promote a “Great Reset” using AI. Klaus Schwab the spokesperson for the WEF, and his right hand man, Yuval Noah Harari (with the anxious assistance of Bill Gates!) is saying all of humankind needs a reboot with “Human 2.0”. This can be accomplished only by fusing humans with AI Robots, however the robots apparently want full control. Well, what happens when they break down? AI won’t be calling any humans to repair any damage or replace parts etc., so these humans would be ‘gods’! Think… Read more »

So dumb. Yes AI could improve life but it could make it a miserable place for humans to live. As the article said, AI does not have human emotions therefor it is cold and calculating making decisions based on no human understanding.
I can not imagine a machine with emotions and believe we need to be aware of the fact that just like a psychopath machines could emulate emotions that we mistake as such and run down a very dangerous path.

08.07.2023, In the coming years, artificial intelligence (AI) is capable of replacing about 300 million jobs in the world. Such data is provided by Goldman Sachs bank. In May of this year alone, almost 4,000 people officially lost their jobs due to artificial intelligence. Experts of Rossiyskaya Gazeta told how dangerous this trend is, how actively it will grow and which professions AI can completely replace. ~ List of assignments based on the results of the conference “Journey into the world of artificial intelligence” Vladimir Putin approved a list of instructions following the results of the conference “Journey into the… Read more »

Ah-Huh. NOT. Someone needs to tell these idiots that THEY are the world’s most pressing problem.

Wow. Investing in Patrick’s channel was a wise move for me. All of this is crucial information along with understanding how all these problems are being created in the first place as investment opportunity. Sadly unless people make an effort to understand, we’ll have to be replaced by robots since the biosphere is dying in creating SMART infrastructure.
