Artificial intelligence is getting smarter every day. While we have a long way to go before robots become self-aware, any robot that comes to know it's a robot could kick off the machine uprising that so many science-fiction dystopias warn about. Fortunately, there might be another way — at least according to renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku.
My Heart Is Human, My Blood Is Boiling, My Brain I.B.M.
"Robots are pretty stupid now. However, eventually they'll be as smart as a mouse, then a rat, then a rabbit, then a cat, then a dog. By the end of the century, they may be as smart as a monkey," Michio Kaku told us on the Curiosity Podcast. "But by end of the century, yeah, Elon Musk is right. They could become self-aware. At that point they're dangerous."
Dr. Kaku was referring to the alarming predictions about AI expressed by Elon Musk, who that feels artificially intelligent machines could threaten the human race in the future. Mark Zuckerberg, however, has differing views on AI. He's more optimistic, saying they'll be a boon for business in the near future. "I think both are right," Kaku offered. "I think Zuckerberg is right initially, in the short-term, because AI will give us prosperity, jobs, will reinvigorate the economy. In the long-term, however, we have to realize that we can't be naïve."
And if robots become self-aware in the next hundred years, as he predicts, then being naïve could make humans go the way of the dinosaurs (hint: they're extinct). Enter the future of the human race. "Let's take a look not at this century, but the next century, the 22nd century, when we do have self-aware robots," Kaku said.

We have been focused on aliens. If any alien life ‘evolves’ as we have with robots now on the scene, then any space travel probably involves robots, not a flesh and blood creature.
It may not go smoothly at first. I can think of a number of dystopian science fiction scenarios revolving around early failed attempts at merging. I don’t think I’d be an early volunteer.
I do, but planting seeds.
It’s still all one’s and zero’s

“Once Robots Are Self-Aware”
Stopped reading there.
Anyone saying such in earnest at this point has no idea what they’re talking about.
Look how easily people are manipulated by BLM, "me too", kiddies thinking they're planning those rallies, sticking with their tribe instead of having outlier thoughts. It seems the meld has already begun.
He is not a follower of the Nazarene
That’s what the so called “elite” believe. Personally I think it’s nuts.
A lot of the automation though will come in place over the next 3 years starting in about 2 months when 5G will be rolled out.
Go to Google and Youtube. Put in 5g and you will see all sorts of links about it.
Freak.
The human mind cannot and may never, be imitated.
Can a robot ever get to the point of wondering and appreciating the “wonders” of the world and the universe?
For example, can a robot/computer ever be brought to the point that it can say: Hmmm... I wonder how the universe began? I wonder if that cute girl (or cute robot) would want to join me on a galactic trip.
The biggest problem for humans designing/developing robots/computers with human-like or superior intelligence, is the paradox of “creating something that is greater than humans”. How could a human create something of higher intelligence if the human has never met anything with “that kind of higher intelligence”? We have humans of different intelligence levels, but, can humans device anything that could have intelligence higher than the most intelligent of humans? To create something with intelligence higher than humans, would take something that is not of the limited levels of human intelligence.
Of course not.
He thinks people are going to live forever in the Cloud and become a God.
Ray Kurzweil director of engineering at Google is a big believer in the Singularity (the merging of mankind and machine as one)
I wonder if that’s the boost I need for my violin playing?
Nope.
To create something with intelligence higher than humans, would take something that is not of the limited levels of human intelligence.

You are forgetting Evolution.

The man is an idiot and touted every as as “super smart”.
