Human VS Robot

• The rise of the machines accompanying the

progress in science and technology may
render human useless. Manual labor is
gradually being replaced by machinery.
Computers become more and more
sophisticated. Robots, usually designed like
human beings are created to perform
complex, repetitive and dangerous tasks.
 Artificial Intelligence
• AI refers to a machine that can copy human
cognitive abilities, think things like problem
solving and learning. But a human has to
program the machine first so that it can learn
from past patterns to create new information
or solve a problem.
 ADAPTATION
One of the greatest gifts of
living beings is their ability to adapt to
their surroundings. Be it animals or
humans, we can easily blend into
whatever circumstances we find
ourselves in. Although it’s definitely not
as easy as it sounds, it is still something
that we are essentially capable of
achieving.
Computers (and thus robots)
are made to suit a particular
environment with defined settings
that are not expected to change. As far
as today’s robots are concerned, one
that is given a pair of pliers to make
some repairs in a machine wouldn’t be
able to wield a weapon and brave
bullets.
LOGICAL ABILITY
• This might surprise you, but
robots are much more logical
when it comes to their thinking
and execution of plans.
• The truly interesting thing is that
we have bestowed them with this
amazing gift ourselves. What’s
even more fascinating is that
robots completely lack emotion
(unlike humans, whose decisions
and thinking may be influenced
by certain emotional factors),
which makes them faster, logical
and also potentially more evil.
 SPEECH RECOGNITION

Although we have had some

robots in recent times that have
very nearly achieved this quality
to a great extent, humans are
still better when it comes to the
recognition of voices and making
sense out of them. We can hear
what a person is saying, and by
using visual and aural cues, we
can fathom some meaning out
of a sentence, something that
robots can’t do perfectly.
 SPEED

There isn’t much competition on this one, so you probably

guessed it right. Robots easily trump humans in this domain.
Robots are way faster than humans, mainly because robots are
free from all other emotional, physical and mental noise
that humans experience. Thus, robots are equipped with better
speed and endurance than humans. Their brains consist of the
core functioning at its peak potential with nothing to hold it back.
THINKING, PLANNING AND DECISION
MAKING
Thus far, and for a good
number of coming years,
this will remain a forte of
humans. We can map out a
series of steps that can lead
us to a certain goal. This is
what robots cannot
perform, as they lack the
ability to plan ahead of
time. Some people do this
for a really, really long time
in advance.
• To Filipinos, AI is used in gaining ground
especially in the business process outsourcing
(BPO) Industry. With the help of this, decisions
now arise from sophisticated statistical
analyses made from massive data. As of
August 2017, it is estimated that a million
Filipino BPO workers may be affected and lose
their jobs with the adoption of AI.
 UNEMPLOYMENT
• One of the many ethical considerations in the
widespread of AI.

• In the future, when machines and robots

become more human-like, with all the
attendant feelings and thoughts, people may
also have to consider the ethical treatment for
AI.
 The development of society along with
science and technology gives rise to more and
more complex issues. At the very least, we are
able to protect and exercise human rights for
everyone in our pursuit of the good life. It is
important that amid these developments,
human being become more free, more rational
and more loving in our practice of science and
technology.
