Robots are without a doubt a very controversial topic. It is crazy that nowadays there is technology that can evolve into artificial intelligence such as the artificial intelligence portrayed in the movie Blade runner. In the movie clip we get the sense of how robots are going to take over and try to kill us. When the robot killed his creator by chocking him to death and poking his eyes out we get a sense that this guy has no emotions and that he is just programmed to kill. During the end of this movie we see on how the robot is fighting a human and when he is about to kill him he feels mercy for the human. He shows some sort of sympathy and even some sort of artistic view. This artistic view can be interpreted as the robot having a soul. If a robot has a soul then he has some level of consciousness. The way that the robot showed that he had consciousness was by talking about the scenery and how beautiful it was. This part reminded me of Ray Kurzweils article “The singularity is near” He believed that robots in the future will have the ability to have a consciousness. “However I do expect full MNT will emerge prior to strong AI” (Kurzweil 140) He is trying to say that yes there will be technology with some sort of capability to have rational thoughts that might seem like consciousness but no they will not really be that strong of an artificial intelligence. So far the only strong intelligence that they have created is used in the aviation industry. It is very high tech and maybe in the future it will grow to establish some sort of artificial intelligence that will lead to the singularity that Kurzweil claims to be approaching.
