The media have been concerned about the possibility of industrial intelligence coming out of control and control of our lives.
The British newspaper Mirror said experts were wary of "the gravity of robot intelligence" after developing a Facebook artificial intelligence system of its own language.
Similar news has been published in newspapers such as The Sun, The Independent and The Telegraph, and other news websites have tackled the same issue.
It looked like a science fiction film, and The Sun published a series of scary images of the robot.
Is it time to fear robot and prepare for the end of the world by machines?
Maybe not. Although some outstanding scientific minds, such as Stephen Hawking, have expressed concern about the threat of artificial intelligence to humanity one day, there is no cause for concern in the Facebook story.
Where did the story come from?
In June, Facebook published a blog that talked about interesting and exciting research on Android chat programs, which included short text conversations with humans or other robots.
The New Scientist and other sites then took the news.
Facebook has conducted an experiment using robots to negotiate the ownership of virtual goods.
The aim was to understand the role played by linguistics in these negotiating discussions. Thus robots are programmed to use language to see how this affects their hegemony over the debate.
Fear of the robot
But the way the media covered the story is more about cultural concerns and machine images than about the facts.
But the Facebook system was used for research purposes, not for general purpose, and was eliminated because it produced something that did not interest the team, not their belief that their experience threatened the existence of humanity.
It is very important to recognize that Android chat is generally difficult to develop.
Facebook recently decided to limit the Android chat platform after it found that a lot of Android devices in its system is unable to communicate with users queries 70 percent.
The robot chat can of course be programmed to look like a human chat, and we may be fooled in certain cases, but it is an exaggeration to believe that it has the ability to conspire.
