There may come a day when targeted PSA's attempt to educate our android brethren as to why they should love us.
Â
The good news is that I won't be here when it happens, haha. But seriously, I don't want future humans to experience a decrease in their quality of lives because Chappie and his homies are having a "purge" of their own. "There will be bylaws in place to prevent this sort of behavior, A.C." Asimov's Laws of Robotics, but for realsiez. And that's a cute concept that will work better in theory than it will in reality.
Â
So I urge you, start a movement. An educational campaign. Teach your metallic brothers and sisters Why, they shouldn't harm their creators. Set a proper example, the way good parents do.
Â
Will nature vs nurture come into play? And to what degree? Can human compassion overpower code? Can A.I. be ignorant? Is there a different between ignorance and a lack of data as far as robots are concerned? Is any of this even making any sense?
Â
The sooner we start to contemplate these robotic hypothetical situations, the fewer humans will suffer at the hands of artificial intelligence. The last thing we should do is wait until a branch of speculative fiction transforms into a troublesome reality.
Â
After all, organizations like A.E.T.H. (Androids for the Ethical Treatment of Humans) will only be able to do so much.
