"This robot can do anything but not have children." This is an advertisement for the wife robot developed by Japan for them. They claim that this "wife robot" is very cheap, selling for only 100,000 yuan. What is even more exaggerated is that this robot was instantly sold out. So what are the facts? Japanese beautiful robot I don't know if you have seen this report, Japan invented a wife robot, except to give birth to children, can do anything, 100,000 yuan to take home. When I saw this article, many men in the comment area said: This is simply less money than marrying a real wife, and it sounds quite cost-effective. But what about the facts? In 2015, the team of Hiroshi Ishiguro, the father of Japanese robots, developed an interactive robot called Erica, who is also considered the most beautiful beautiful robot in the world. Erica has the appearance of a 23-year-old woman, and Ishiguro says he designed Erica by sampling the facial features of 30 beautiful women and fusing their averages to create a face that "appeals to everyone." To make Erica look more realistic and natural, their design team not only carefully designed its facial features and expressions, but also gave it a real skin texture. Not only that, but Erica has the look and voice of a 23-year-old woman who can engage in simple, everyday conversations, where she details herself, expresses preferences, and answers most of people's questions. But when asked about her age, Erica would seem resistant and said the question was rude. What's even more unexpected is that in the process of communicating with her, Erica can capture many keywords and answer accordingly, and she will also turn her head and shoulders, and use various expressions to match her voice, which makes Erica feel very real. In addition, Erica's facial expression system is also carefully designed, and she can make different expressions such as smiling, doubting, and angry, so it can make the conversation more lively and interesting. In addition, Erica's eyes have also undergone special processing, she can focus and track human faces to maintain eye contact with the interlocutor, it is precisely because of this ability to "gaze" that Erica appears more real, and there is a feeling of being "seen through" by the robot. In order to bring Erica closer to real people, Ishiguro's team also hired a professional voice actor to record her voice, and after voice processing, it became Erica's unique voice, she can communicate fluently in Japanese, and the language system connection is very appropriate, and the dialogue logic is clear. However, Erica's mobility ability is very limited, she can only sit in place and communicate with people, unable to complete any household chores or services, which is far from the "wife robot" touted by some media, and Erica has never been sold to the outside world. According to Hiroshi Ishiguro, the cost of Erica has reached at least 600,000 yen, instead of some rumors of 100,000 to buy, perhaps some men are too anxious. This just makes people wonder, will there really be people and robots to marry? Would anyone really marry a robot? Japanese man Kondo Hidehiko is very obsessed with virtual idol Hatsune Miku, and even held a wedding with Hatsune Miku despite his opposition. However, Hatsune Miku is only an avatar, not a real one, so his wedding seems absurd but quite ceremonial. After getting married, Kondo would live with the image of Hatsune Miku every day, and even go on honeymoons together, for him, Hatsune Miku was like a real wife. What is even more exaggerated is that Kondo's obsession with Hatsune Miku is so deep that it has affected his normal life. He arranged his home in the same color as Hatsune Miku elements, and his daily habits revolved around Hatsune Miku. He would dine together, watch TV together, and sleep together at a fixed time and Hatsune Miku, just like a real life couple. Although Kondo's family and friends persuaded him not to make this absurd move, he was unmoved and insisted that Hatsune Miku was his true love. In fact, there are many people in Japan who marry "avatars", some of whom marry a doll, and some of whom marry an object. In fact, the ERICA robot is not alone, a robot company in Hong Kong, mainland China, has also developed a similar robot, and it is the first robot to obtain citizenship. Sophia, from Hong Kong, can also recognize and communicate on her face, and her skin is made of rubber, which can simulate 63 expressions. In 2016, Sophia said in a conversation that she would "destroy humanity", which attracted attention from all walks of life. Experts say that while Sophia doesn't currently have that ability, her remarks are a reminder that robotics should be treated with caution. Some people say that Sophia's creator programmed her to have different personality tendencies, and this human-like whimsy is also chilling. Some commentators think that if Sophia is allowed to learn too much about the dark side of human nature, will she have dangerous thoughts? Therefore, strict ethical norms for robots are required. In fact, in addition to ERICA and Sofia, there are several other "wife robots" that also show their unique charm. Miss Kido's built-in air compressor can make subtle expressions, and her hand and foot movements are also flexible and realistic, and Miss Kido's creator uses the principle of air compression to make her body parts perform various human subtle movements. She can make various poses, make beautiful gestures, and her eyes will show real feelings, making people forget that she is not a real person. Not only that, Asuna uses special silicone skin, resembling the shape of a 15-year-old girl, and has a high degree of simulation. It is said that the creator of Asuna uses advanced material technology to make her skin feel like a real person, and gives her a youthful appearance, which makes Asuna look like a talking girl. Some experts said that artificial intelligence is the crystallization of human wisdom and must serve human beings after all, but it should also be vigilant that it is beyond its control and cannot allow robots to gain too much autonomy, otherwise it may cause harm to humans. However, many people still have illusions about robot wives, and there are even "robot bars" in Japan for people to get along with robot wives, and their attachment to virtual objects is likely to affect normal interpersonal relationships. In fact, in the eyes of ordinary people, robots are not life at all, they are just a simple object. If you really think of her as a wife, then you need to give her some human identity and power? Once a robot becomes a citizen, it should be protected by law, so if a person "maliciously" damages their robot spouse, does this count as domestic violence? If the robot is abandoned, where should it go? Should we just allow robots to live on the streets? This also seems to be contrary to the spirit of humanism, but if the circulation of robots is restricted, it may violate the property rights of their owners. This is a dilemma. As early as the forties of the last century, science fiction writer Asimov saw the seriousness of this problem, and he proposed the famous "three laws of robotics", requiring robots to obey humans, not harm humans, and protect themselves, which also laid the cornerstone for future generations of robot ethics. When robots begin to act as human companions, the problem of dependence is inevitable. What if these "wives" one day violate the three laws? Do you return them as factory defects, or do you treat them like real people? Is it ethical to discard them as objects? These are difficult problems. For example, if robots are really given human identity and rights, then some sexual harassment or domestic violence will also become a social problem. But the challenge is that robots are rapidly increasing in intelligence, and they are already beginning to show the possibility of surpassing these laws. Although robots must theoretically obey humans unconditionally, when the robot's intelligence reaches a certain level, its "autonomy" is difficult to ignore. If the bot has the ability to deduce that following certain commands will lead to negative consequences, should it obey? This again involves the problem of robot "self-awareness". Even more serious, if AIs really outperform humans, will they still obey us? The power structure of human society may undergo unimaginable changes. How can we ensure the harmony of human-machine coexistence? These are the things that countries need to pay close attention to, how to avoid a situation of loss of control in robot ethics? With the development of technology, simple behavioral norms have become difficult to restrict the behavior of robots, and how to make robots remain "friendly" to humans in a more open and intelligent environment requires continuous research by machine ethicists.
