Would you trust your life to a robot?

Question

Quetion · Accepted Answer

No. A robot is metal and stronger than human flesh and bones. They can kill, overload, and take over the planet, and even if new models came out and people said "Their completely safe, don't worry they'll protect you" I still wouldn't believe it nor get one. I don't trust people, strangers, animals (depending on if their safe), and most definitely not robots that can move and have hands with eyes and a body. So, if I don't trust my life with people, I don't trust my life in the hands of robots. Maybe I watch too many movies and are paranoid, but that's just an opinion.

We already do for quite a few things. And Watson, IBM's medical AI, has already proven more effective at diagnosing cancers at an earlier stage than human doctors.

I don't think I'd trust the robot, but I'd be more likely to trust a human AND a robot than just a human.

No, not even if it somehow passed the Turing test.

Very tricky Question lol seeing as we already have been trusting them lol.

However These new Human bots (like in i-robot)... might be the death of us and I don't know if i trust them🥴
.
Honestly it's becoming pretty scary at this point. We are too smart for our own good!

KelleyNice · Answer

There are machines that can be programmed to do a single task and they do that many times better than humans and usually we trust those. However, there no robots that are multi-task like human and there will not be for many years. When and if such robots exist, I am sure that I will trust them as being more reliable than humans, provided I trust the companies that make and program them.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

Robots can't even figure out that I want a docking pallet for my 2-way radios that I already have. They keep asking if I would like to buy new radios! No, I just want a spot for them on my dresser when not in use!

Robots need a lot of instructions before they can become truly useful.

ChrisMaster69 · Answer

While we have not quite got there yet, people already trust automation, which is part of robotics.

For example when we fly we trust the pilot, we’ll actually we are trusting the Inertial Nav system, the Autopilot system,

in hospital we trust the machines delivering drugs to our system, the life support systems we are wired up to.

now the entire could a robot make a life of death decision like a human could and would you trust it, then no.

cth96190 · Answer

Not if the robot had been programmed by the current global elite, whose agenda is to murder all but 500 million of the population of the planet.

ohshee · Answer

Think about this how much do you trust politicians depending on who program the robot to a certain point I would still say no and then hulot's are going to start learning on their own and when that happens we are all fucked

Adam1978 · Answer

I don't put my life in the hands of anyone if I can avoid it. And if I can't avoid it the question is moot. It's not like I rather die than take my chances with the robot.

DWornock · Answer

We already trust robotics. Most of the food you buy was packaged using computerized machines. At Walmart you can choose to scan and pay for your food instead of checking out using a live person, and you trust the scanning an charges are correct.

When robots become far more capable, they will do as they are programs, with many safety factors built in, and will be far more reliable than humans that are prone to mistakes and emotions.

AmysQs5 · Answer

We all trust our lives to robots all the time. Ever ridden an airplane? The autopilot and pilot assistance is something you trust your life to. Sure, it's not a robot straight out of star wars, but we all rely on robots that hace specific functions.

SkyCastle90 · Answer

No. I barely trust my life to other humans; but during an emergency you really don't have a choice.
