Infusing OpenAI’s GPT-3 in a Facially Expressive Robot, Ameca

Researchers put GPT-3 in this creepy robot, and now experts think it might not have been fruitful!

Artificial intelligence is now being extensively used by all industries. The integration of AI into robotics has enhanced the dominance of the industry over several global paradigms. Experts claim that in the years to come, AI-powered robotic beings will become a crucial part of our society and some might even serve us. However, there are several researchers who believe that the advancement in humanoid robots might eventually lead to the downfall of humanity, nevertheless, the research does not stop! Over the past couple of years, the top robotics companies in the world have been working on developing some of the most advanced and efficient robots that can actually live with humans. One such humanoid robot that has made huge strides, is Ameca. The robot was developed by Engineered Arts, a world-renowned humanoid entertainment robot designer, and manufacturer that constantly cuts through traditional forms of robotic development.

Ameca is essentially a cloud-connected platform that enhances the strength of an AI-powered system. It allows Engineered Arts' popular robot operating system to make changes to the system. Companies that are working on AI and machine learning can actually use Ameca to test and present their developments in front of a live audience. The robot might offer muti-functioning capabilities, but it certainly is creepy, as described by experts. The robot has a fantastic smile, also the ability to blink its eyes, gasp when it is surprised, scratch its nose, and have a staring contest makes it equally charismatic and weird. Now, researching and working on the constant developments of Ameca have included GPT-3 into it, and gave it a voice!

So, how did they actually do it?

A video recently circulated on the internet showed Ameca having a conversation with several of the company's engineers. Well, OpenAI included a speech synthesizer into the robot that enabled it to use deep learning technology to generate human-like texts. After showcasing its almost human-like expressions, the fact that it is also talking has rendered internet users in disbelief! Leveraging the power of GPT-3 has enabled engineers to portray what modern robots can do in this ever-evolving domain.

Now, these developments have certainly raised some brows among the critics in the tech industry. Some tech enthusiasts have been too worried about giving humanoid robots too much power. Since the advancement of AI, experts have been worried about evil robots taking over the world and artificial superintelligence becoming a reason behind the destruction of humanity. The creators of this new version of Ameca confirmed that the robot has denied looking for friendship with humans. The activities of the robot in the future is quite unpredictable, and what it will do with its new-found is also obscure, nevertheless, in one of the conversations the AI-driven robot has clearly mentioned that it aims to serve humans! Well, only time will say what the future holds.
