Unlocking the Future: AI Robot Learns Tasks in Just 24 Hours
A CHILLING new AI robot designed to mimic human behaviour has learnt difficult tasks in just 24 hours. The freaky futuristic cyborg, named Phoenix, was unveiled this week and is fast on its way to beat humans at everyday tasks. Built by Sanctuary AI, the 7th generation Phoenix is controlled by a highly-developed AI system known as Carbon.
Phenomenal Advancement: Phoenix Impresses with Fast Learning Abilities
Fast-Learning Capabilities: While previous models of Phoenix took weeks to learn new tasks, the new bot takes just 24 hours. Sanctuary AI praised said Phoenix as “one of the most sophisticated human behavioural data capture technologies available today.” The humanoid is currently providing the “highest quality, highest fidelity” training data, they added.
Exceptional Progression: Gen 7 Sets New Standards in AI Robotics
Geordie Rose’s Perspective: The new model was unveiled less than a year after its 6th generation robot and less than 16 months after the 5th, suggesting a rapid rate of development. Geordie Rose, CEO and Co-Founder of Sanctuary AI, remarked on the progress made with Generation 7. “With Generation 7, we have a system that we believe is the most closely analogous to a person of any available.”
The Rise of the Machines: Concerns Surrounding Humanoid Dominance
Humanoid Takeover Concerns: The fast-learning robot comes amid fears over the future of the human race as highly-intelligence humanoids could be set to take over. An expert recently told Central Recorder how humanoids are on track to one day make humans “obsolete.” Professor Robert Riener, from the research university ETH Zurich, expressed concerns over the potential implications of advanced humanoids.
Futuristic Innovations: Robots and AI on the Horizon
Exciting Developments: Incredible footage emerged this month of a humanoid that mirrors your every movement, doing anything from lifting boxes to kicking a ball. Additionally, the world’s first flame-throwing robodog capable of blasting a 30ft blaze went on sale in the US earlier this week. The Thermonator can be controlled remotely and comes with a hefty price tag of $9,420.
The Changing Landscape: Job Displacement Due to AI Advancements
Impending Changes: AI expert Professor Carl Frey, of the Oxford Internet Institute, highlighted the potential job displacements caused by technological advancements. With the increasing capabilities of AI, certain professions may face the threats of automation. White-collar jobs, analysing documents, and telemarketing roles are among those identified as being at risk.
In conclusion, the rapid advancements in AI and robotics pose both exciting opportunities and concerning challenges for the future. As technology continues to progress at an unprecedented rate, it is essential to adapt and prepare for the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence.
