A robot has been created that has learned how to lie. 8O
Georgia Tech scientists, Alan Wagner and Ronald Arkin, have created two wheeled robots that play hide-and-seek with each other. The hider has an advantage that the seeker doesn't. The hider can lie (under certain circumstances). It fakes left and goes right. And its very good at it too.
basically, there's 3 colums and 3 markers so when the hider went to its spot, it would knock the marker down and the seeker would know where to look, but the little liar would knock over a marker and go in the opposite direction.
In this robot, the liar bug was planted in its mecha. their are some robots that are wired to learn from experience have learned to lie to each other and people! If this type of robot is mass produced, scientists are hoping to create and ethical robotic figure for them that would guide them so that they don't kill civilians or damage religious buildings.
I personally think that if they do that, they have then created a supercomputer that if it turned on us, we are all screwed. I think they should make more than one, make several so that if one turned, then there would be sections of robots that wouldn't want to kill us.
