Robots in culture

With the development of technologies people considered the mechanical creatures to be something more than just the simple toys. The literature depicted the fears of people that humanity can be substituted by its own creation. The novel about Frankenstein is considered to be the first science-fiction work that depicted this problem.

Later the drama "R. U. R." gives the philosophical and the economical context depicting the problems of robots and the role of mechanisms in the every-day world. With the lapse of time these ideas were described in the number of literary works and films.

There were also works that described the robots with the artificial intelligence. In the fantastic stories Isaac Asimov made three laws of robotics. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human being except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Asimov showed that the laws being programmed in the brain of the robots in the form of the obligatory laws doesn't protect the reflection of other unfriendly actions of robots to people. Giving the examples of the negative consequences that appear in the case when people block these laws or the parts of the laws and then the robot finds the decision that doesn't contradict the laws but this decision becomes dangerous for people.

1. Artificial intelligence is the sphere of computer technologies that investigates the formalization of tasks that remind the tasks solved by people. The algorithm of the tasks solving is unknown beforehand. Sometimes there are also the tasks with the images taking that are traditionally included into the sphere of artificial intelligence investigation.

2. Scientists coincide in one point that the most complicated problem is not the imitation of the brain work but learning the principles of its work.

3. Those who support the idea of artificial intelligence creation say that any intellect can be regulated and controlled. Besides it will be programmed to help people and not to harm them.

4. The modern science of the Artificial intelligence (AI) gives four main principles of investigation that are the logical, the structural, the evolutional and the simulation principles.
