Thinking Activity: Why We So Scared of Robot/AIs?

Why We So Scared of Robot/AIs? 


This blog is response of my thinking Activity given by professor Dr Dilip Barad sir. Here i discuss about why we do Scared of Robot.

Robots have become an integral part of the manufacturing industry, but they’re also moving into other industries as well. As they continue to become a larger part of our society, people are voicing growing fears about them. Whether it’s a fear for their jobs, their lives, or something else entirely, it’s all built on a lack of knowledge. One the one hand, they see AI as one of the most fundamental transformative technologies that we have ever seen in the history of mankind, and on the other hand, that transformative power is something we should be scared of and be wary about. If AI is transformative, then it has the power to be transformative both for good reasons as well as bad. So here i discuss some video Short film of why we Scared of Robot. 

1, The first one is about babysitter robot who becomes so obsessed of the child that murders the murder. 



In this short film we can see that mother had a babysitter robot but at the long time they become obsessed and try to murder mother. These kinds of films try to scare us from technology , especially robots. So in this movie we find that humans installed some of the emotions in human beings and when Robots were not working properly we replaced them but we have included the same emotions like us. And it's normal that if we make something then as time passes it gets worse. Humans make robots that it's not harmful to peoples.So it seems that the media are not much connected with robots. They are not too kind with the robots and Al. Sometimes we Scared to watch this kind of film and this film was example of horrible.

2, The second one is on the iMom - Mom robot.


A mother leaves her kids to the care of a robot. Then an unexpected bond is formed. This spooky horror meets science fiction, humanoid technology is compared to false prophets in the Bible, as filmmaker Ariel Martin playfully depicts a dark future where automation encourages sinful indulgence and a lack of great parenting. 

In this film they used one mom robot- iMom. In it also we see that robot harm the humans. That iMom killed the child so it's seems more dangerous to take a robot as our safety and trust on them. So this type of stories play a vital role in the scaring for the robots.

We asked writer/director Martin what inspired The iMom: “I came across a photo of a baby interacting with a robotic arm and was struck by how it captured the idea of ‘man verses machine’, and wanted to take a narrative look at where technology is taking us as a society.”

3, The third is on Satyajit Ray's short story 'Anukul' (1976) - directed by Sujoy Ghosh


Sujoy Ghosh's short film Anukul is based on a short story of the same name, written by Satyajit Ray back in the year 1976.

The famous American historian and novelist, Henry Adams had once said, "A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops." This line holds true for Satyajit Ray, filmmaker extraordinaire, whose works still form a great source of inspiration for modern-day filmmakers.


The story is set in a dystopian future when humans coexist with anthropomorphic robots. However, Ray didn't set the story in a futuristic timeline; he chose to build the entire narrative in a contemporary settings. And that is where the story excels and its effect remains unmarred by the strands of irrelevance or obsolescence.

A Hindi school teacher, Nikunj Chaturvedi (played by Shukla) buys an android named Anukul (played by Chatterjee) from a corporate agency based in Chowringee, Kolkata. The robot, programmed to do any human task without "overtime" and "holidays", thus becomes a part of Nikunj's household as a housekeeper and starts observing things and people around. Eventually, after some dramatic set of events, his relationship with his master changes in many ways and levels.So in this movie we found one retired man Nikunj and he wanted someone’s company so he purchased one robot. So that man faced some conflict with relatives and at the end we found that Anukul killed him. Nikunj never knew that his closest relative had expired. Also it's a rule coded in the robot that a second violent attempt will be faced by electrocution from that robot. Having a conscience is a dimension of our brain to think in the most logical way. Logic is all that computer has. In the middle Nikunj attempts to explain Gita as perceived by him. A rule and new learnings from Gita are the perfect match for self conscience.Several parts of the film are extremely faithful to Ray’s story, including fine details such as Anukul’s costume (a light-blue checked shirt and black half pants). Ghosh’s primary addition to the story is the typical humans-against-machines trope prevalent in science fiction.
The most common fears surrounding robots are often birthed from a lack of knowledge.

Thank you
