Namuhla, umsizi werobhothi, yiqiniso, uhlukile. Kodwa ngeke sibe nesikhathi sokubheka emuva, njengoba zizoba yisici esibalulekile sokuphila kwethu kwansuku zonke. Ububanzi bokusebenza kwabo okungenzeka bubanzi: amarobhothi omama basekhaya, amarobhothi othisha, amarobhothi abazanyana. Kodwa bayakwazi okwengeziwe. Amarobhothi angaba yithi … abangani.
Irobhothi liwumngane womuntu. Ngakho maduze nje bazokhuluma ngale mishini. Asigcini nje ngokubaphatha njengokungathi bayaphila, kodwa futhi sizwa "ukusekelwa" kwabo okucabangayo. Yiqiniso, kubonakala kithi kuphela ukuthi siqala ukuxhumana ngokomzwelo nerobhothi. Kodwa umphumela omuhle wokuxhumana okucatshangwayo ungokoqobo ngempela.
Isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo kwezenhlalakahle u-Gurit E. Birnbaum ovela kwa-Israel Center1, nozakwabo base-United States baqhuba izifundo ezimbili ezithakazelisayo. Abahlanganyeli bekufanele babelane ngendaba yomuntu siqu (okokuqala inegethivu, bese kuba kuhle) nerobhothi elincane ledeskithophu.2. “Lixhumana” neqembu elilodwa labahlanganyeli, irobhothi lasabela endabeni ngokunyakaza (linqekuzisa ikhanda liphendula amazwi omuntu), kanye nezimpawu esibukweni ezibonisa ukuzwelana nokusekela (ngokwesibonelo, “Yebo, ube isikhathi esinzima!").
Ingxenye yesibili yabahlanganyeli kwakudingeka ixhumane nerobhothi «elingaphenduli» - lalibukeka "liphila" futhi "lilalele", kodwa ngesikhathi esifanayo lahlala linganyakazi, futhi izimpendulo zalo zombhalo zazihlelekile («Ngicela ungitshele okwengeziwe»).
Sisabela kumarobhothi “anomusa” “anozwela” ngendlela efanayo nakubantu abanomusa nabanozwela.
Ngokwemiphumela yokuhlolwa, kwavela ukuthi ababambiqhaza abaxhumana nerobhothi "elisabelayo":
a) ithole kahle;
b) wayengenandaba nokuba naye endaweni ecindezelayo (ngokwesibonelo, ngesikhathi evakashele udokotela wamazinyo);
c) ulimi lwabo lomzimba (ukuncika erobhothini, ukumamatheka, ukubheka amehlo) kubonise uzwela olucacile nemfudumalo. Umphumela uyathakazelisa, kucatshangelwa ukuthi irobhothi lalingelona i-humanoid.
Okulandelayo, ababambiqhaza kwakudingeka benze umsebenzi ohambisana nokucindezeleka okwandayo - ukuzethula kumuntu ongase abe umlingani. Iqembu lokuqala laba nokuzethula okulula kakhulu. Ngemva kokuxhumana nerobhothi «elisabelayo», ukuzethemba kwabo kwanda futhi bakholelwa ukuthi bangathembela ekuzuzeni okulinganayo komlingani ongase abe umlingani.
Ngamanye amazwi, sisabela kumarobhothi “anomusa” “anozwela” ngendlela efanayo kubantu abanomusa nabanozwela, futhi sizwakalise ukuzwelana nabo, njengabantu. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukuxhumana ne-robot enjalo kusiza ukuzizwa uqiniseka ngokwengeziwe futhi ukhangayo (umphumela ofanayo ukhiqizwa ukuxhumana nomuntu onozwela othatha izinkinga zethu enhliziyweni). Futhi lokhu kuvula enye indawo yohlelo lokusebenza lwamarobhothi: okungenani azokwazi ukwenza "njengabangane" bethu kanye "nezimfihlo" futhi asinikeze ukwesekwa kwengqondo.
