Epitomized in Albert Hubo, a humanoid robot that was showcased at 2005 APEC in Busan, Korea’s robot industry has recently made such a stride that the Korean government has launched a plan to put a maid-robot in every household by 2020 and is in the process of drawing up “Robots Ethics Charter.” Although the government’s plan and the idea of the charter may seem exaggerated at this stage, the rapid development in the fields of robotics, bio-engineering and artificial intelligence makes it hard to dismiss such efforts as wasteful. Furthermore, given that intelligence robots, once available, will be mass-produced and thus become an integral part of future society, imaginative and thoughtful preparations for robot future are in dire demand. In order to meet the demand, this paper stresses the importance of literature in that only by way of imagination can the robot future be thought of and prepared for properly. Unimaginative representations and discussions have produced misguided impressions of robots as either antagonistic or superior to humans, and the guiding principle of the robot future that results from such impressions is the control of robots. Literary imagnation, which encourages a deep and multi-dimensional understanding of characters and contexts, can redirect the control-oriented principle toward one that seeks for the co-existence of robots and humans. Reading several novels, including Richard Powers’s Galatea 2.2, where a supercomputer named Helen is taught literature, this paper examines how literary imagination can help both human beings and intelligent robots to mature enough to inhabit the future society.
Abstract
Epitomized in Albert Hubo, a humanoid robot that was showcased at 2005 APEC in Busan, Korea’s robot industry has recently made such a stride that the Korean government has launched a plan to put a maid-robot in every household by 2020 and is in the process of drawing up “Robots Ethics Charter.” Although the government’s plan and the idea of the charter may seem exaggerated at this stage, the rapid development in the fields of robotics, bio-engineering and artificial intelligence makes it hard to dismiss such efforts as wasteful. Furthermore, given that intelligence robots, once available, will be mass-produced and thus become an integral part of future society, imaginative and thoughtful preparations for robot future are in dire demand. In order to meet the demand, this paper stresses the importance of literature in that only by way of imagination can the robot future be thought of and prepared for properly. Unimaginative representations and discussions have produced misguided impressions of robots as either antagonistic or superior to humans, and the guiding principle of the robot future that results from such impressions is the control of robots. Literary imagnation, which encourages a deep and multi-dimensional understanding of characters and contexts, can redirect the control-oriented principle toward one that seeks for the co-existence of robots and humans. Reading several novels, including Richard Powers’s Galatea 2.2, where a supercomputer named Helen is taught literature, this paper examines how literary imagination can help both human beings and intelligent robots to mature enough to inhabit the future society.
