Opponents believe that the machine is just a physical entity, there is no single "soul" or "spirit", and there is no consciousness accumulated through a long evolutionary process. Consciousness is also completely based on biophysics, and it is meaningless to simulate it only based on calculation. On the other hand, although great progress has been made in emotion prediction and natural language processing, the current artificial intelligence does not realize real perception, but only completes the task through data processing.
However, some supporters believe that in the future we may create robots with human-level consciousness and emotional expression. They believe that, like humans, robots can perceive information from the environment, then interpret and process it, and respond in some way. In this process, robots also produce emotions, such as happiness, surprise, sadness and anger. But they also admit that in order to achieve this goal, more powerful computing power, more advanced algorithms, more advanced sensors and identification technologies, and more experiments and theoretical research are needed.
Interestingly, some studies show that the probability of robots gaining real consciousness may be higher than people think. In 20 14, researchers from a Swedish university created a neural network named "neurosynaptic" by using machine learning and electronic neuron processor, in which robots can recognize and reproduce human perception and emotion. At the same time, it can also learn independently and improve its behavior through experience. This research has attracted the attention of some supporters, who believe that autonomous robots can be made from it and given real consciousness and emotion.
Although it is still controversial, whether robots have real consciousness and emotion is still an interesting research topic. Whatever the result, this kind of research will provide us with a new perspective to understand human consciousness, and may form a new technology-derived industry in the future. However, we still need to be cautious and continue to use science and technology to create useful assistants for society and human life.
