Can Robots Be Accepted As Human Beings ?
Can AYDIN
In recent years , robots have had a major role in our daily lives all over the world . For example , we use personal assistants Siri and Alexa , self-driving cars , security robots and automotive industry robots . That ’ s why the questions “ Can robots be accepted as human beings ? ‘’ and ‘’ Should robots be given human rights ?’’ are both open to discussion .
Rapidly people have started to feel the presence of robots more and more . The scientists state that this situation results in violence against robots by people all over the world . People lash out at robots , especially to the ones which resemble humans , because they think that robots will take their jobs and control their actions with their great intelligence . In Philadelphia , for example , a security robot was punched to the ground . Another security robot in San Francisco was covered in a tarp and smeared with barbecue sauce . Thirdly , a man in Moscow attacked a teaching robot with a baseball bat and kicked it to the ground . At that time , that teaching robot pleaded for help . Finally , three boys in Japan beat a humanoid robot with all their strength .
As a conclusion , these artificially intelligent machines can be accepted as ‘’ human ’’ and should be given human rights and protected under the law . Otherwise , this violence may increase all over the world and it can come to a point that people may be imprisoned for robot abuse .
