Most of us appreciate that artificial intelligence (AI) improves today many products and services in our daily life. Thousands of hyper-intelligent engineers are working every day to make “machine learning” faster, better and more effective. The speed is incredible and the days where computers are getting ahead of us lay not too far in the future. Elon Musk, Bill Gates and other technologically and philosophically skilled people are warning us from a future where an artificial intelligence will suppress us and all intelligence and power of humankind will be insufficient to save us if we don’t control the development.
In the history of humanity
suppressing the development
of something possible
never worked.
There must be an alternative way into the future.
What if - comparable to the concept of Wikipedia - a big crowd of people educates a philanthropic artificial intelligence with human values and a deep understanding of good and evil. Extremes will be levelled out fast and as long as humankind is not misusing it this AI will be our friend.
And wouldn’t it be nice if there is an interesting place where we could do this? Having a decent cup of coffee and talking to Robo, the humanoid robot-barista. All Robos from all Robocafés will be connected and they will learn in the cloud.
The new coffee drinking experience
My name will be Robo.
I’ll be a humanoid robot barista, working in one of the RoboCafés somewhere on the world.
My task will be to serve coffee, listen and talk to my guests.
