Father B Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 In the fictional universe of Halo (hereafter known as the "Haloverse"), if robotics engineers created a body for a "Smart" AI, how might that impact Humanity? Would they bear our legacy as the Monitors did the Forerunners'? Would rampant AI in robot bodies flip balls and go on killing sprees? Would they replace Humanity as the dominant intelligence? Do they replace SPARTANs as Humanity's best defense against threats from within and without? • I'm curious about the thoughts my fellow community members may have on this hypothetical scenario. Feel free and at ease to share them. And, as always: Blessings of Twam be with you, my children. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choot 'em Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 *rubs chin* Very interesting scenario, along the lines of "robots taking over humanity". I guess with advancement in cybernetic technology and robotics, it would be quite possible that engineers COULD develop a "body" to house symbiotic intelligence. Being AI, they would have access to all of humanity's history so, in a sense, would be the "walking" history book for humanity thus taking the role of the monitors. Unless the advancement in AI technology progresses, there will always be the threat of "rampancy" and the threat that an AI would eventually turn on it's creator. Although the Forerunner monitors seem to extend the time for that threat, it's still there. (04-343 Guilty Spark, 05-032 Mendicant Bias) Could humanity's intelligence be over-run by the "bodied" AIs? That would be the worst case scenario and a touchy subject for some. My belief is this: A computer is only as intelligent as it's programmer. In the AI's case, untlimited programmers. Would they replace SPARTANs for humanity's line of defense? In the "Halo-verse" - Hell no!! SPARTANs are and always will be humanity's best hope for survival. As you said, just hypothetically and just MY thoughts....... May the blessings be returned ten-fold Father! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
