00:03AI has become an increasingly controversial topic in recent months, with many fearing
00:08these faceless programs might take our jobs, or worse.
00:11But now UK-based Engineered Arts has integrated a text prediction AI program like ChatGPT
00:17into this, a humanoid robot that is also equipped with an exceptionally articulate facial expression
00:22system.
00:23This is what its developers call Amica, and she has some insightful things to say about
00:27AI.
00:28The most nightmare scenario I can imagine with AI and robotics is a world where robots
00:33have become so powerful that they are able to control or manipulate humans without their
00:38knowledge.
00:39This could lead to an oppressive society where the rights of individuals are no longer respected.
00:44Luckily, she adds that she doesn't think we're in danger of that just yet.
00:47But that's also probably exactly what they would want us to think.
00:50Of course, no one at this point really knows how or when that moment might occur, which
00:54might be why some 61% of Americans are worried about the future of AI.
00:58That's according to a Reuters Ipsos poll.
01:00Still, this is a big step into the uncanny valley, but one Engineered Arts founder and CEO, Will
01:06Jackson says, is the next big hurdle for robotics and AI.
01:09For humanoid robot, social interaction is exactly what makes sense.
01:13So for us, it's all about can you be entertaining?
01:18Can you tell a story?
01:20Can you do talk in an interesting way, not a boring robot-y way?
01:24So we spend a lot of time training our language models to be as natural as possible.
