Paper Abstract:
|
Many experts have reached the rather tragic conclusion that AI and machines will slowly take jobs away from humans
before then conquering the world. However, the development of AI should not just focus on strong AI, which can manifest
itself as a substitute for humans. It is also important to develop good AI which can empathize with people. Thus, for
future AI to operate successfully, it will be necessary for the technology to recognize human emotions and respond
appropriately to a whole spectrum of different human moods. In this study, we examine a proposed buddy relationship
between humans and AI. This is believed to be an ideal relationship. We then investigate the possibilities of this through a
specific case study of the British TV show Humans. The buddy relationship is a concept proposed by Erving Goffman
in his work Asylums in which this particular and exceptional relationship between employees and inmates is played out.
However, what results is a seamless institution. Such attitudes and perceptions seen in Asylums may eventually be taken
by people in our society towards AI. Therefore, this study explores how a buddy relationship might be an appropriate
concept for that which unfolds between humans and AI robots in the future. |
