What if robots become conscious?
The ethical question is if robots become self-aware, what would happen to humanity? This question is impossible to answer as of right now. If we don't know how robots will act once they become conscious then what's the real fear? If as humans, one day we develop an artificial human brain for a robot and it becomes self-aware, then this means it will act and behave just like a human. It will probably have the same emotions as we have. Maybe this will not be a bad thing to a humanity since robots will be friendly and maybe they will help us do all of our necessities. Maybe there will be bad and good robots just as humanity. Maybe with the rise of robots there won't be more poverty. Or maybe one day we will become machines ourselves by combining some of our body parts with machine parts. Or maybe one day we will be able to fall in love with robots just as figure 1 shows. These are many 'maybes' but why fear the rise of robots when we don't even know what will happen to humanity as a result of it.
