Last week, Boston Dynamics unveiled a new humanoid robot that creepily moves like no other robot has moved before. The new fully electric Atlas robot represents a path to commercialization and a new generation of robots that will leave people asking if this is the beginning of the Cyberdyne (Terminator) robot. Demand for humanoids in factories will likely erupt by the mid-2030s. This could unlock the potential for these robots infused with AI to work in the service industry or be adopted by households. This paves the way for the military-industrial complex killing machine that might be available as soon as 2025. In the context of AI, the danger of idolatry arises when humans ascribe divine attributes to AI systems and elevate them to objects of worship or over-dependence. Tonight on Ground Zero (7-10pm, pacific time) Clyde Lewis talks about RO-MAN V.S. HU-MAN.
