  1. Hey there,
  2. this is jimmy bruner and this is my paper
  3. on using the past to predict the robot apocalypse.
  4. So let's jump right into here
  5. firstly, I'll go with my thesis.
  6. Um Science fiction mediums can be applied to the study
  7. of practical artificial intelligence development to find unforeseen outcomes.
  8. So what does this mean?
  9. I started my research with Krasinski and Pollock.
  10. This was a paper that came out a year ago about the future of
  11. Ai Stanislaw Lem's philosophical visions for ai and cyber societies and cyber aid.
  12. So what this was was their general idea
  13. was that um science fiction from the past could
  14. used to be used to prevent future events and
  15. kind of look into um you know how technology
  16. predicted things would be and where we are now,
  17. where we could be soon.
  18. Um And that just gave me this huge open platform to use where I could say,
  19. hey look at this movie that came out in 1929 metropolises.
  20. Look at the terminator 1990 for um Blade Runner some of these
  21. other movies and we could use those predictions to see if we,
  22. you know, has science fiction got it right ever?
  23. Has it got it wrong? What kind of things can we learn from it?
  24. So when we moved on from me gathering that,
  25. I got to some things like checks and balances, you know, so not only do we have,
  26. what did science fiction do, but what did present?
  27. You know um Earth do with the technology
  28. checks and balances and etcetera that we could
  29. then apply in etcetera. And from there there's another aspect if we go to
  30. human robots love war right?
  31. This kind of gave me the final hole
  32. where everything's gonna come down to robots right?
  33. We're working on perfecting a robot. A robot will be an extension of a human,
  34. be able to do similar things. Uh And then that's where the sci fi predictions for
  35. robots from a long time ago.
  36. But even more closely right for like sex robots for companion robots.
  37. A lot of Blade Runner stuff in there.
  38. Um The movie artificial intelligence,
  39. if you if your robot kills somebody is
  40. that you killing somebody through your robot is
  41. your robot guilty on its own because it shouldn't be able to be programmed for that.
  42. Um
  43. You know if we
  44. accidentally forget to put the do not blow up the world button
  45. on our computer system and it blows up the whole world.
  46. Like you know what kind of things can we prevent?
  47. Um If you love a robot doesn't love you back,
  48. what what are the neural connections there?
  49. If somebody kills the robot that you love,
  50. did they kill your lover or do they kill your property?
  51. It's all those kind of things.
  52. So I got to use neural neural uh psychology to see you know how A. D. D. And A. D. H. D.
  53. Branes worked compared to how a robot works with
  54. like the turing test and proving that they're human.
  55. Similarly in those studies they found that uh those, you know,
  56. people with chemical imbalances in their brain might not pass those tests either.
  57. So, you know, technically, are they not humans, et cetera.
  58. And then that kind of gives the fight for, you know,
  59. why aren't robots going to be humans um are treated as such.
  60. And then it, you know, for the um if your robot kills people questions etcetera,
  61. I used a law degree Hipple lawyer, hippo to discuss
  62. if you know what,
  63. what kind of intellectual property laws should be applied in the future.
  64. So those are kind of all really cool things that
  65. I gathered to um to write this paper and uh
  66. the way that I got them was the rabbit hole.
  67. So we got our topics, you know, as technology related automatically signed me up.
  68. I love some technology stuff.
  69. I love science fiction, so it kind of just wrote itself.
  70. So if I like the content then I can do the outline right?
  71. Like what kind of things do I have. I have the science fiction um predictions.
  72. I have the science fiction outcomes because where we're at
  73. now and then I have science fiction from the past.
  74. I have science fiction from the middle and then I have us in the present, right?
  75. So if we're in the present, um that tells us, hey,
  76. what kind of things have happened so far,
  77. where how close are we to these movies actually coming true and etcetera.
  78. So with that
  79. my outline and my timeline are kind of the same thing.
  80. They go, um you know, you start at the beginning,
  81. you sometimes you jump forward to the future,
  82. but most times you just kind of just go right up into the present and like,
  83. let's not get to that evil future from those movies.
  84. So that wrote itself, just plug in the data there.
  85. Uh the abstract helped me kind of narrate where
  86. my story was going or my thesis was going.
  87. Um and then
  88. From there I started a draft and from the draft
  89. I didn't outline and it all seemed to come out.
  90. So hey, thanks for joining me on this paper. I had a lot of fun writing it somehow.
  91. It turned out to be like 13 pages. So I'm sorry
  92. sorry to anyone who had to read it,
  93. but I hope you guys learned something and I
  94. hope we don't kill ourselves with the robot apocalypse.
  95. Take care
