Have you seen the movie "Terminator"? There is a scene, where robot answers "Fuck you asshole" for the knocker. This is the thing what makes it feel so human. And that gives this fictional robot the capacity to slip into the resistance and eliminate the wanted persons. This is the horrific vision of future, where artificial intelligence has killed the human race and starts to war against humans.
Robots are creating to replace humans in boring jobs, where are problems to find workers, because of bad salary. Most elegant way to make robots, is to make them so sensitive, that they can play feelings, and that would make them very good workers in hospitals. Those sensitive robots would use their sensors to monitor how opponent speaks, does the opponent turn red, or what kind of voice this opponent has. This kind of robots are creating in Japan, and their missions would be customer service in restaurants and hospitals. Also, sex-industry might be interested in those machines.
By analyzing those changes, would that robot or computer notice if the opponent is angry, sad or glad. Also, they would notice if the person enjoys some food or seem nervous. Sensors would notice if there are tears in the opponent's eyes, and in that cases, it would show empathy for that person. Those robots would be so humane, that there would be hard to separate them from a real human.
Those robots are equipped with computer programs, what notices the changes of voice, or other marks of the person’s behavior. Also, those robots might have infrared sensors, what notices the changes in the skin temperature. And those sensors would notice if the person moves arms little bit too fast. That would tell robot if the person is stressed. After that, the computer chooses right protocol how to start talking with the person.
Closed space like hospital or school is the very good working area of those robots because they could be connected to WLAN all the time, and when they would need more computer power, they can take assistance from some central computers, what helps them to solve problems. In those robots are also some risks, what might ever think before. If those robots would be used in some police or intelligence missions, they might be easy to handle, and those machines can slip in the enemy leaders close circle.
Those robots can be assisted by some aircraft like E-6 Mercury, what can give their calculating capacity for those machines. That human like robots can use in surveillance missions, but there is one great danger for those systems. If somebody would use them as the eliminators or assassins, nothing would stop them. Of course, there would be effective weapons like computer viruses, what would be harmless for humans, but they would destroy robots. And they could be an effective defense against those machines.
But the problem of those robots is that they might have “ghost protocol”. This means that they can do their missions on two levels. Those robots can work as bodyguards, but they can also use for illegal activities. That kind of robots can work in their normal duties all the time, but when they notice the targeted person, those machines would eliminate this man or woman, and then they would return their normal duties. And the memories of those robots can be erased.
Those robots could be slip near the key persons of the military, and if they will start the operation, could those androids just kill them. Or some private corporation would use them to eliminate their competitors. So the Mafia of tomorrow would use this kind of devices as killers. But they can also use in the military missions around the world, and that would allow hiding even great scale of war.
