Will Computers Take Over Earth? - Computers taking over the world

It's funny to say but, it can happen if technology will get smarter and smarter then computers might talk back to us and get angry almost like shown on Irobot when the robots take over..should this be stopped? Or are we just going to make stuff too advance

Nah... Computers cant take over us cause them dont have any kind of artificial intelligence. Computers are just tools that helps the human to do certain tasks, but them are no robots.

But maybe, someday in the future the human will make a robot with Artificial Intelligence that could develop the idea of conquer the world or something ... yea just if the human makes that big mistake.
(or already there is something made by the human with AI? i doubt it)

By now i dont wanna be afraid of my own computer

Migue2k7 has a point. Computers won't be able to take over us, they are just tools to aid us in our work unless we program them with Artificial Intelligence (AI). A lot of video games nowadays are being built around this AI, fighting games, football games, all of these have AI programmed in it. But the similarity these things have are that AI is programmed in a particular aspect, for e.g sports games. the AI is programmed to counter your moves. For a robot to function, it has to be able to know how to react in certain situations and that would be very difficult. But never would they let a computer control us or have any thoughts of being more domineering than humans, we are smarter than computers.

It is unlikely we will get to the stage where we can socialise computers into society any time soon. The way a robot works and the way a human works are different, and I don't think we will see convincing human-like robots for many years to come. However, World leaders are moving closer and closer to adding computer controlled robots and such to their militaries, so I suppose they could be taking over the world with computers

And even if robots did become incredibly powerful we have two failsafes: if Microsoft design their OS then they'll last 5 minutes, and we can always pull the plug.

Computers are only as good as the AI they have. It's safe to say it's not happening anytime soon.

Well the only bad part about everything in life now is that it has to be used with some computer technology

I don't think so because there are always people who object to things.
Same with computers, many people object to using computers and such because it doesn't go with what they "believe" in.
Plus, what if everything turns into I, Robot?
Scary thought.

I feel that if technology continues on the path that is going in then Yes this will occur. Everybody knows this from scientists to writers like Ray Bradbury, who stress the importance of using technology to the fullest, but knowing there is a limit to how far we can go with it. Right now though, I feel we are at a good state in the technology buissiness and we do not have to fear of this occuring in our day and age, but as technolog progresses we are becoming more vunerable to such take overs that we need to be extremely cautious to this occuring cause it could happen in the near future when we are least expecting it!

Although computers are a big part of our society their intelligence is limited to what we want to supply them with. Every computer has an off switch too, in any case something like that could be shutdown. I always wondered what would happen if our whole network of computers shutoff for just one day what a big impact it would have on the world. If you think about it computers are everywhere; stores, your home, your car, & pretty much anywhere you go involves computers somehow. Yeah it all seems strange that none of this was even around back in the day, and look how far we have come.

Computers are evolving at an alarming speed and many people will in fact be sitting home because the factories they work in has hired computers instead of them. Also many people love the computer and are like addicts like me. I cannot live without a computer not even for a day. Computers cannot take over completely but will so in many fields.

U's are a bunch of little children you don't have a clue about anything yet and AI is only as smart as people make it and even if we did make an AI that is as smart as a human it would not just go on a huge rampage it would probably have the sense to talk or negotiate this topic is completely useless because it could never happen. this is impossible and even if there was some tiny slight chance if the robots did rebel and take over we would just EMP their asses

Yeah, I dont really think computers will take over the earth, there are always things, like EMP... that could disable them... and so many other things, but is it possible? Yeah, i think it could be once we start getting more into robotics thou, but not just computers, and computers do run a lot of stuff now, from the gas you pump, all the way to what controls are nuclear missiles. Scary!

computers cant take over the world...unless by some insanely advanced technological advancement, they gain the ability to improve themselves, learn, be self-dependant, intelligent and many others... WITHOUT any major limitations.

computers and robots are what we make them to be...eventhough now people are trying to make it such that robots can 'think' and 'learn'...in other words be more human.

however i doubt that goal will ever be achieved...reason being they are made by us...they're run by scripts, programs, circuits and chips....what goes throught their 'brains' are IOIOIOIO codes. the term artificial intelligence says it all..its artificial, computers and robots cant think and process like us...they can just 'think' the way we make them, or how we want them to. they don't have a mind of their own.

they will never be able to take over...but we will probably be over-reliant on computers and robots in the future, to the point that we cant manage without them, and say..if some virus wipes out their programs or screw with them..and they turn against them...i think ONLY in that sense will they be able to 'take over'..something like in the Terminator films. rise of the machines ^^"

i dont think that technology today could take over the world but maybe in the future (very distant) but even if they did i think the humans would have the counter tech to hack the main system controllin all of the robots. i awnsered this topic because i just got done watching i robot and the idea kind of lingered in my head toying with my every thought.

Most Of I think it will be possible in the far future, not the close future since we are not so far yet in developping such programs or machinesthe creation of robots / computers have two sides hardware and software nowadays people are trying to make the shape of robots more humanoid, but the functionality of its form plays a huge toll
creating it more like a human, makes it also more fragile in some parts, and also it needs a lot more machinery imagine if they try to remake the human hand, it would take a lot of tiny parts and nothing said about the amount of power those robo hands would have; robo crime in making before an AI would even try to conquer the earth, it would need some sort of programmation in its code that allows itself to create new code and improve it. a group of programmers would be required in order to create such code the movie I-Robot shows only a small part about what could happen to the world, terminator shows again the bad part of robo creation and coding but in this case the worst partwhat the future will give us also depends on us, the future programmers or evil-masterminds probably if computers or robots would take over, can be the result of a research project done by the the world leaders Most Of I think it will be possible in the far future, not the close future since we are not so far yet in developping such programs or machinesthe creation of robots / computers have two sides hardware and software nowadays people are trying to make the shape of robots more humanoid, but the functionality of its form plays a huge toll
