“Neon’s ‘artificial human’ is a scary glimpse of the future (mostly) still hype”.
Samantha Murphy Kelly critiques the artificial human in his article “Neon’s ‘artificial human’ is a scary glimpse of the future (mostly) still hype”. Samantha wrote the article in January 2020. According to the article, technology can advance to producing artificial humans who can take the role of a teacher, financial adviser, doctor, or a close friend. An example of an AI with improved characteristics is the yoga instructor among the Neons powered life form. The robot would perfectly train people on a downward-facing dog technique while another would deliver news based on the audience’s preferred language. These AI prove that the future holds realistic avatars that would establish a perfect relationship with humans. However, the article indicates that Neons’ current avatar still faces delays with less believable expressions and emotions. In this regard, Neon seeks to improve the learning and memory aspect of artificial humans to attain a perfect robot. The endeavor will help them remember the interests and preferences of their clients. Apparently, the artificial human development will require the companies to invade private and confidential information to understand the choices and concerns, indicating that most likely Neon has placed gadgets within their home-based products to access personal information.
Response
Artificial human is a superior technology that will have a significant impact on the corporate world. However, it does not have to infringe personal information to understand individual preferences and interests. The companies should improve the learning and memory capacity in that the AI can understand the concerns of a person and be in a position to recall at a future date. Using gadgets to access personal information is unethical and ineffective because of people’s preference and interest changes with time. Therefore, the AI direction holds the future of the corporate world with reduced errors, reduced costs, and improved efficiency in terms of needs satisfaction and customer experience. However, the course does not have to infringe confidential and private information as it is an unethical practice.
