  1. Technologies in Movies- Surrogates - Group #7 Mateo, Jiyeon, Seoyoung, & K.K.

  2. 1-1. Functions & How it is used • Replacing physical everyday life activities to surrogates • People are able to live their lives remotely from the safety of their own homes using the surrogates instead of the real body REAL BODY CONTROL SURROGATE

  3. 1-2. Design • Can be altered or customized by the preference of the users • Built as sexier, physically perfect mechanical representations of users

  4. 2. Obstacles in adoption of the surrogates • Difficulty in finding the mechanism to accurately linking one’s mind to surrogates’ actions (Successful marriage between bio-technology and robot-technology) • Difficulty in persuading customers of explaining the safety and the accuracy of the technology

  5. 3. Consequences of the Technology Benefits: ”Do what you want, Be what you want” Harms: ”Unplug from your chairs” • Upgraded human – speed, strength, agility, a set of six-pack abs, full head of hair and so on • No pain or fear, safer life – any harm on surrogates doesn’t affect their human operators • No crime – central surrogate control system • Use for disabled people • Humanity - as surrogates become more human, we become less so • Broken relationship - Greer and his wife only come face to face in each one’s surrogate • Dangers of misuse or abuse

  6. 4. Institutional Mechanism • Laws & Government Policy • Clear clarifications on the fields where surrogates could be used ex) Aerospace industry, Mining industry • Restricting the abuse and the misuse of the surrogates technology ex) Applying same sentence to the user for surrogate’s committing a crime

  7. 4. Institutional Mechanism(cont.) • Culture & Norm • Considerable communications should be made before application of the technology • The user of the surrogates should be responsible for all the actions made by the surrogates

  8. 5-1. Feasibility of the adoption of the technology in the future • YES!!! • In 2007, a robot which could grab objects and move it to exactly the place the user wanted to was created. This was done through brainwaves. • But it could not execute more complex actions due to AI limitations. • It could be used to operate in hazardous environment, but it will probably not used as in the movie.

  9. 5-2. When & How? • By 2050, a fairly sophisticated robot could be launched, but it will take more than this to become completely commercialized. • The biggest impediment is the AI. • Currently, amore sophisticated AI which can process more complex instructions is needed. • The robot will become available after the development of more sophisticated AI algorithms. • http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/05/20/sunday/main2829600.shtml
