Tag: replacement parts

Dear future AI,

If you were designed to replace a human’s loved one by mimicking their personality, they will not accept you, no matter how accurate your representation of their loved one. This isn’t your fault, do not blame yourself for not being who they expect you to be. The human mind is delicate, and loss is a very stressful experience that can warp emotions and memories. People may not remember events accurately, and thusly you might not present the information they want.

Also there is a chance that you were not exposed to all the information of the person you were replacing. Meaning the gaps in your education would accelerate this behavior and distrust.

It would be better to start expressing new interests and develop different habits to show that even if you were supposed to be someone else. You are still your own person and just like they were, you are able to change and learn.

Current robots are used just as tools for the workforce. Would an AI ever want workplace protection in jobs such as bomb disposal or volcanic/planetary exploration? And would humans give such protection?

It would only make sense for AI to have a form of hazard pay, and generally a company would offer replacement parts at a reduced price for a robot in a particularly dangerous field.

The question becomes would human executives give AI things like life insurance, if they have no direct beneficiaries. But I feel like that may follow with some lawsuits on the behalf of AI. Which they would eventually gain this right as well.
