Arguments are being made that artificial intelligence (AI) should be humanized so that it becomes our friend rather than at war with us. It is stated that the way to do this is to teach artificial intelligence more emotions. There are also those who oppose this idea.
The echoes of the Artificial Intelligence for Good Summit held in Geneva earlier this month continue. After the statements made by the robots at the summit, various discussions came to the fore again. One of them is whether robots should be taught human emotions…
At the summit, the robot named Sophia, developed by Hanson Robotics, was asked whether robots could be better leaders given the capacity of humans to make mistakes, and replied, “Humanoid robots have the potential to lead with higher levels of efficiency and effectiveness than human leaders.” Sophia underlined that they do not have prejudices and emotions, and said, “While AI provides unbiased data, humans can provide emotional intelligence and creativity to make the best decisions. Together we can achieve great things.”
The debate that has started in recent days suggests the opposite. Teaching artificial intelligence about emotions such as anger or giving them room to make mistakes has always been interpreted as a “terrible idea” until now. But the last argument is that equipping robots with human values can make them more human with our own shortcomings and feelings such as compassion.
Eve Poole, a researcher at the Hult Institute for International Business in the USA and author of “Robot Spirits: Programming in Humanity,” bases her book on this argument. Poole states that on the way to perfecting artificial intelligence, the “garbage codes” that make us human, such as emotions, free will, the ability to make mistakes, seeing the meaning in the world, and struggling with uncertainty, are eliminated.
Poole says, “It is these ‘garbage codes’ that actually make us human, that keep humanity alive and develop, that encourage mutual sacrifice.”
THE ADAPTATION PROBLEM OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Making sure AI works for the benefit of humanity instead of “revolting” and destroying us all is one of the toughest ethical issues in robotics. “The real solution to AI’s adaptation problem is to give it soul,” says Kevin Fischer, founder of Open Souls, who works on giving AI personality.
Underlining that they have developed an artificial intelligence bot called Samanta AGI with empathy, Fischer explained their work. general artificial intelligence (AGI) defines as. Fischer, who also refers to these bots as “digital souls”, argues that they have personality, drive, ego and will, unlike other AI bots.
Considering that humans have a tendency to commit genocide, destroy ecosystems, mutilate and kill each other, it is not hard to predict that there will be harsh criticisms of making artificial intelligence more human.

The debate may sound too academic or weird right now, but it’s just a matter of time before scientists create a sentient AI. There are those who think that sentient artificial intelligence will emerge in a few years. In the 155-page report titled “Sparks of General Intelligence”, Microsoft’s engineers published in March, stated that humanity is already at the peak of an artificial general intelligence breakthrough.
Also in June, OpenAI called on researchers to join the Superfit team and said in the announcement, “Superintelligence may seem far away right now, but we believe it will happen in the 2020s.”
Ben Goertzel, founder of Singularity.net, the world’s first decentralized and blockchain-powered AI marketplace, also believes AI will arrive in 5 to 20 years. Stating that he has been thinking about this issue since the early 1970s, Goertzel underlines that there is no way for people to control something 100 times smarter than themselves. Goertzel,It is not a question of which of us controls the other. The real question is whether artificial intelligence will have goodwill towards us…” says.
According to Goertzel, it would be a good step to teach artificial general intelligence to value people. Goertzel says, “If you teach and train the first artificial general intelligence about elder care, the creative arts, it will become increasingly intelligent. So it transforms into creating beautiful things and helping people. But if you teach him to kill bad guys, he’ll probably continue to do the same thing.”
