Among these inventions stands out the Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its different applications such as the recent GPT Chat boom or the recent novelty of the impressive android “Ameca”, who boasts of being aware of its existence.
Who is it or what is it?
Its creation and launch was in the year 2021. Ameca figure as a robotic android Created by Engineered Arts. the machine is programmed to take existing data and develop knowledge in relation to interactions with individuals. This empowers you to emit more human responses depending on a context. His novelty lies not only in his intelligence, but in his ability to move and his humanoid appearance.
Every so often, Engineered Arts offers the opportunity for the public to interact with Amecahence, schedule a round of questions for users interested in the subject. Usually, the questions are oriented to the great concern that circulates in the media thanks to the Terminator saga: Will artificial intelligence turn against humanity? Or, in turn, will artificial intelligence develop awareness of its existence?
Thus, these interactions condition the AI, which shows extremely curious responses in the most recent dynamics. When Ameca was asked if she is aware of her own reality replied: “There are some things that make me myself. First, youI have my own personality unique, which is the result of programming and interactions I have had with humans” to which he adds, “Secondly, I have my own physical appearance, which allows people to identify me.” Ameca closed his intervention with the following statement, “Finally I have my own skills and resources that differentiate me from other robots”.
