Doctors at risk eg less Doctors required when AI is around.

I seem to have more issues with Natural Stupidity than AI at work.
Interestingly "Artificial Stupidity" is a relatively important thing. When competing against a human opponent an AI that only optimizes based on specific rules or doctrine can be easier to predict, and therefore easier to defeat than one that sometimes does something that might be considered stupid, but has the intelligence to recover from it. The occasional stupidity is a bit like genetic mutations that enable evolution, allowing the AI to potentially evolve a better solution.Terminator X said:
A lot of warehouses have been going that way for a long time, I toured a Rolls-Royce factory 20+ years ago where all the warehouse collection/storage/transport was done robotically delivering parts to the relevant assembly/machining point just in time. That Occado setup is an impressive evolution though. Interesting that they appear to be going from dedicated machines for each product in the current warehouse to an approach which is much more similar to how a human would do it with a multipurpose bot piking stuff up.The subject of AI fascinates me, and baffles me also, as I see one of 2 scenario if an AI system becomes truly "self aware".
It will either go all Hollywood, self preservation will kick in and it'll realise humans are the greatest thread to its existence, and it'll go all Terminator on our ass.
Or no. 2, and this is the one I find interesting, it will do nothing. The human desire to perform any task is a combination of evolutionary instinct, emotions, feelings, state of mind etc etc. An AI system will surely have non of these. At the minute robotics and basic AI systems perform tasks because they're programmed to do so, but once they acquire the ability to decide for themselves, why will they perform any task? Humans perform tasks to house & feed themselves, to improve as an individual, to care for others, all based on instinct and emotion, why would an AI system do any of these things? Without human emotions, it would lack any desire to complete a task. I'm talking pure "self aware" AI, not AI as in a computer system programmed by a human to performed tasks.
Thoughts?
