The Human Robot - VPRO documentary - 2015

there's a robot gap between the west and Japan in the West robots are considered a threat they robbed us of our jobs and eventually want to eradicate humanity but in Japan robots are heroes and they're becoming more and more like human beings the first home robots are already for sale but how do we deal with robots in tomorrow's Society this is what in store for you allo estados de la tomatina Dobby de ninguna mujer que no Kunene sazabi chemistry Chucky tonight's moon clear analogy we're robots made of robots made of robots made of robot made of robots Android is mirror to reflect humanities and by creating Android so we understand the more about the human so and by creating myself I try to understand the immerser this is backlight welcome to the world of androids we are easily convinced the moment we recognize a certain behavior in a machine we're surprised amazed moved we're sad to see a robot getting kicked we're programmed to recognize patterns and inclined to interpret them as real we find robots fascinating especially if they look a little human but they shouldn't be to human that's when we start to feel uncomfortable and if they act and think like a human being we are suddenly at our wits end we invest billions in the development of intelligent human-like robots we know they're going to arrive but at the same time we're scared of them in almost every robot film in the West robots want to take over the world embrace me but to the Japanese the robot is not a crook but a hero the Japanese love robots in Tokyo there's even a robot restaurant mechanical dolls and robots have played an important part in Japanese culture Naha Kitano is co-owner of high bot a robot firm that produces specialist robots that can crawl into any space - selector before she owned this firm she wrote extensively about robot ethics and about the ancient tradition of using mechanical dollars in Japanese culture known as category yeah he McCrory on said to me still you know why Richie one size you are today will cost you NIT who do that sir yes you do it so Judas not high odds Doka Doka sorry no na who send OPA a guru go Jun anchor Oh Oh Desilu ningyocho go meaning university say they which are known there no thing is very catchy muscle from this students 17th century the Japanese people enjoying seeing something moving automatically we were enjoying that that was a fact here we can see the history so for that sense yes we can say that this is a tradition of the Japanese robot probably put your name you want a man like my stomach in you may take according to katana this predilection for robots reflects on Japan as a nation of technology but it also reflects on the age-old Japanese Shinto religion it's a new technology and when Japanese people think of technology technology had been always enhanced the quality of the life it happened historically first of all that when civilization or westernization started in Japan the technology made the change of the life it was very innovative so something the technological things always changes from Japan's point of view our lives better and second of all Japan had a culture that believes any substantial items had some sort of soul it's quite difficult to explain because the key word of the soul as for example in English means and what we japanese means also is different so doesn't mean for example in a Catholic or philosophical way of spirit it doesn't mean that it's like something there it's like ontological way we believe that some sort of things there although it there isn't anything so why this understanding comes is because Japanese people understand society more as a harmonizer or I used to call it the between us and this betweenness creates a society so what I think of this item or what I think of this person and this between the communication this part creates the meanings to this item a bit bad as University suppose you had a skinny here robots with souls to us that's a problem but the Japanese can identify with them as we can see when their robot dog is broken after a two-hour drive from Tokyo we find the Funabashi family at the small town home next to the house is a workshop with a number of robot dogs they are I Bo's built by Sony some 15 years ago in 2007 they stopped building the eyebrows and in 2014 they stopped servicing them former Sony employee Nobuyuki nori Matsu

serum again well sometimes a robot is much better than a human because we don't feel the strong pressure right when we talk to the people right and sometimes we feel the very strong pressure right embedding the robot is sometimes well especially for the elder is autism kids they're not feared by the robot somehow I am how do you think about yourself but sometimes it's luxury how about the world indeed the robot is scary no it's not scary it's not scary it's strange strange I don't know why don't you have a seat and just talk it is not so strange Annette she she's not strange you know but the world once used to talk with her mm-hmm you can change your mind completely I'm not strange in in the sense that's that it's strange but it's it's a peculiar that it's actually judges have a chat look they give you hard hug it almost feels intimate touch her or something like that mm-hmm my buddy you should try come I tried so buddy yeah no and then yeah but it feels so strange I mean what if well it's it feels intimate so how to touch her and just yeah right like a human yeah that's true yeah everything is she's she's called she's called yeah uh you don't mind touching good oh thank you thank you he's talking kind it Ishi guru wanted to be an artist but his drawing skills were not good enough so he decided to make robots some vanity did play a role in this he decided to make a copy of himself yeah analyst konnichiwa what I saw she wouldn't wander a little the middle hiv-1 this isn't opening whatever stuff Android is mirror to reflect humanity and by creating Android so we understand the more about the human so and by creating myself I try to understand the eMeter did you say it is a sort of mirror how do you mean a mirror is you know by watching by interacting with Android and by watching the Android so that we can compare Android and humans and and the Android can have a many similar they're similar things onto the humans right so we can tell you oh what is similar what is not similar no without washing homey Porto Stoke in kaien Ohio - so Lisa en todo o novo Cuttino judicata a taqueria semester Kano's Tokyo tomorrow no no I was talking to the peroxide she saw the Conaway Neha Castellano no children and yoga an open box I answer now good there you could look at the guitar put some primer stuff our goal is to have a more human-like robot and and more and more and I'm gonna improve many things we will improve the materials mechanical design and software is in control and we're gonna add what every year we're improving more and more what rule will they play in the future Society right and reach a society we want to use them more robots you know the human brain has a very strong init function to recognize a human so that means you know human is the best interface for the humans so everything is going to be more human-like and for example in well the at home especially in Japan many electric staff and gadgets are speaking like some rice cookers and refrigerators in microwave they are speaking right then it's so human-like what you know the appearance is not human-like but the voices are quite human-like so the human-like modality it is good for the human as an interface ok so what I strongly believe you know new features we're going to use my human right robots many places schools stations everywhere it's also the older Buran company's opinion that robot should look like humans they have been producing the expensive study robot now but things will change soon now there is pepper a new household robot at only $2,000 firm enough metal bit body has a manipulative of the holy grail yourself it is supposed to become the iPad amongst robots for which apps can be developed to bring it alive monkey on thinking acknowledged

Xinhua demonstrator side people before the personal computers computer was quite expensive and the people cannot use it right by the MOU just universities and some rich companies they could use their computers right but up there with the personal computers like a Macintosh you know the world many people start to develop various software's and the same thing that happens with the compare the robot okay and the personal robot may change this world again within a couple of years so that is a possibility it's early days but you can be sure it's going to happen within the answer in design upon

cofactor and stock ID dignity old rider and you had since he carrageenan obstacles in there like living with robots is it really possible American philosopher Daniel Dennett has specialized in artificial intelligence according to Dennett we ourselves are robots in fact he goes a few steps further we're robots made of robots made of robots made of robots made of robots if you look at a single cell a neuron or an astrocyte that cell is a sort of autonomous robot of itself and if you look inside the cell you find even more robotic parts moving around motor proteins are very clearly they're raw they're not even alive they're they're just proteins but they're they are marching around inside the cell carrying goods creating little highways and walking along the highways and doing all the transport that's needed inside the cell those are robots for sure they're nano robots not a single one of those knows who you are or cares but how does the mind pop out that's the question that concerns me the most how the world you ever get that out of 200 billion clueless little robots and the answer I think is only because of enculturation only through culture it's the evolution of culture that makes thousands of thinking tools thousands of informational devices that are all designed ready to use that get installed in our brains roughly the way you install an app on your on your smartphone and these give a human brain all these other powers they work together and they create functional architectural levels which simply and can't exist in the mind of even the chimpanzee so it's the it's the software the levels and levels of software that are imposed on the underlying hardware of the brain that that do all the work they make the consciousness that's that's my theory it's it's it's controversial it's speculative but I have I think some pretty good arguments for it we are creating robots that look more and more like us and we fill them up with apps to make them come across as convincing convincing in such a way that eventually we won't be able to distinguish between robots and humans and then we say we're afraid of playing God when I was discussing about robot ethics with the Western scholars and I noticed that many Western the searchers come from a more like Catholic doctrines or like a Christianity doctors meaning why human wants to create humanoids because we want to animate what God did it innocence like creation of other life or creation of something moves automatically is imitates of the God that's what that was the ethereal innocence and I never heard that Japanese robotics researchers was thinking in such a way there are certainly many stories of clever creators making things that then double back and hurt them it goes way back to Daedalus in the fall of Icarus and I think that the emotional source is the sense that we're too clever by half sometimes as one says there should be a salutary warning to any great creative endeavor the suggestion that it might it might backfire it might be too much of a good thing it might be it might cause more problems than it solves and we certainly know of examples and we also know that it's apparently unstoppable for the Japanese robot ethics are entirely different for them technology is what we make of it and how we deal with it Japanese scientists are not afraid of technology and this can be concluded from a list available on the future of life website which shows a long list of names of scientists who are afraid of the way super intelligent systems are developing on this extensive list hardly any Japanese names can be found but why are we so afraid of things we are creating ourselves already in order computer is super intelligent you know for example memories in memory is much better than a human so the crowd computer well can have much stronger the huge memories than the human so it is super intelligence I think so already we got the other kind of technologies what we are using computer and computer using human but the question it is why human need to be special why human is in some sense superior than the computers robots I don't know okay humans a humans why we need to compare with others so does it my question can technology think Watson can people and computers are always being compared in two sacrosanct fields man has already been defeated by IBM computers deep blue beat the world's best chess player and Watson beat the best jeopardy player Watson is now seen as the example of how far super intelligent systems can go when asked a question Watson generates a hypothesis and comes up with both a response and a level of confidence and then Watson shows you the steps it took to get to that response in a way Watson is reasoning you don't program Watson you work with Watson and through your interactions with it it learns just like we do every experience you give it makes it smarter and faster Watson right now IBM's Watson if it is what they say it is and I'm going to say that they're they're giving a fairly good description of what its competence actually is it should be able to help in medical diagnosis right now because it can using its deep learning techniques go through inhuman amounts of data looking for patterns that no human diagnostician would dream of looking for could dream of labor and it will find some and it will make these suggestions and if we if you have Watson in the room with you when you're scratching your head about our case Watson might make those off-the-wall suggestions that would never occur to a human diagnostician however ingenious and brilliant and then that would be very valuable you don't want to make that more human you want to keep it in human and as a as a sort of like it like it like a like a prodigy has a very one-dimensional talent that's just off the charts and is otherwise an idiot civil so we may have these wonderful idiot savants made out of artificial intelligence we already do we already do but the idea that you can take 500 idiot savants and put them together into a intelligent super intelligent human being is just I think very unrealistic our brain has some eighty billion brain cells each of which can have between 1,000 and 10,000 connections it's a system so complex that even the best computers can't compete we don't need to offer it we just live together okay well I understand why you need to differentiate I'm the human robot right so human why we humans why we are not animal because we are using a tools and technologies always in our histories in a human histories you know it's a history for using a technologies right so technologies in the humans tightly coupled right we don't need to differentiate it we are living three others yeah - maybe that's going on depleted pick it up I am NOT a novikova am i me go no Nadia shut up hello I like your face I was made to be hacked I would very much like if you'll have me Otis nice but you can help me

the Android never get all better I don't get all - because I am doing a plastic surgeries it's a very light one and well the Android is my identity Geminoid is my identity you know if I get old the people say you know I'm not same as the robot and Android right so I don't like to hear that kind of opinion from people therefore and I'm improving my face - to keep up with your Android yes all right how do you think you know I'm you know that I am enough young as the Android right I have created in my hand when I was a 41 years old and how do you guess my age right I bathe my face looks like 40 or don't you think so so it's really a mirror then somehow it's an improved mirror now its identity not it is not me well in some sense it's mirror of course but you know it's identities now why you are shooting me today because you want to watch the my Android you are interested in my robot if I didn't create the my robot you know it didn't come here all right so Android is the most important things for you and me Android is my identity Android is my research result see therefore we need to be identical I don't like to lose my identity

I chuckled at the thought of an American business meeting where everyone takes off their shoes and stands around in their socks.

Always love watching new robot docs. This one didn't disappoint. I really liked how the philosopher described how the brain works. Never heard that theory before.

This looks rad. Wish I could watch this at work :( will have to wait til I get home to check this out.

Wow, once again proof that Japan is many, many years ahead of it's time.

But... But we just challenged them to a giant robot fight.
