This episode brings this otherwise abstract topic to life by visiting the most cutting-edge engineering firms where innovative technologists are using Artificial Intelligence to transform machines into thinking robots. Leading institutions are preparing robot rovers and flying drones to navigate through unmapped territories, in order to save lives in bold Search and Rescue missions. By "mapping as they go," these thinking machines generate their own intelligence-allowing them to self-navigate without human input. Additionally, some technologists are coordinating swarms of drones to operate and collaborate together-all with the explicit ambition of improving the efficiency of farming and increasing food production. Though the news media often reports on how machines could cause unemployment, that's not what AI inventors in this program are saying. In fact, their AI-driven robots are using machine-learning to work better with humans. Through observation, AI robots are learning to anticipate the actions of human co-workers, keeping people safer in the workplace-and making it more productive. Some scientists in this show are even developing AI robots that are achieving the beginnings of robotic consciousness. By comprehending their own self-image, they are able to learn about their environment, make decisions, and navigate the space around them-just as human babies do. Some engineers are taking this technology even further to develop real-world Androids-that is, robots that look, feel, and act like people. Becoming consultants, advisors, and even friends, these Androids will ultimately help individuals adjust to realities of "the human condition." See less
