• We used to run away from people by doing this in Metal Gear Solid, it’s partially true.

The relevant portion of the book, which has not yet been published, was shared by The Economist writer Shashank Joshi. Cross section, made by robots for human and enemy detection. an educational event was telling.

According to the author’s information, 8 US soldiers did not use the armed robot’s artificial intelligence with such sophisticated, complex camouflages; from each other in creative ways cheated. It was even hidden in a cardboard box.

Some soldiers ran 300 meters. do somersaults advanced, some ordinary behind the cardboard box hid. Another even walked by picking off a piece of fir tree. The artificial intelligence could not detect any of the soldiers.

Of course, this was because the AI ​​was trained to detect people walking normally. The ability of artificial intelligence to be tricked by such simple methods also sparked a new debate.

In addition, the robot in question was developed and trained by DARPA, which is administered by the Pentagon.

Still, it’s worth remembering that AI is only as smart as humans feed it.
