- Bloomberg's Hello World host Ashlee Vance recently traveled to Osaka University to see Professor Hiroshi Ishiguro’s latest creation, an android named Erica that's designed to work, one day, as a receptionist or personal assistant. The android has lifelike skin and facial gestures and uses artificial intelligence software to listen to and respond to requests. Is Erica creepy? To Vance she is, but not to Professor Ishiguro, who considers her nearly indistinguishable from a human.

the scariest thing in this video is that "she got angry" and decided to stop being cooperative
I hope she only had a 6 Ft power cord so she cant run after us.
Its just the guy with the laptop coding her on what to say
@@TheSpiral01 i doubt it but well see
Terminators uh oh
@@TheSpiral01 nah cause that’s literally creating sentient life
Guy: "No, um, I never kissed her, uh..."
All of us: "uh huh, sure."
@Holly Bee: Is this silicon doll even programmed to be kissed?
Holly Bee haha
Calling it "her" is enough to know he's lying
Kiss a robot? 👽👽🦇🦇Yukkk!!

@Baconboy-Roblox & More! did i miss out on a arguement
The guy seems more creepy than the robot.
An earlier one he made was badly mimicked on his own daughter. The uncanny valley had some deep recesses that Hiroshi was not afraid to venture into. ;)

Preeetty cute. 🙂
She reminds me of that little girl from The Grudge though...😟
thats called creepier
lmao ! good point
Um Hu, LOL.
We all know the inventor did kiss the robot
never
Nooooo only u Americans do that... Wtf... Smh
I like how he spoke for a whole country lol. Like you know what people do or thinking of doing behind bars .
ALL would do it , just out of curiousity , don't deny you won't
then what's hentai all about lolol
I've never felt more connected with humanity than in this moment... the majority knows what he does with that robot.
The Birds and the Bees.
What would really make it realistic is if they included little pupil movements. It brings life to a being. Like how human eyes are constantly moving
Blinking process still too long
it was configured for night activity not regular conversation
AdBuster you should try it on your chanel when they will start to sell it.
WHY DOES IT BLINK
WHY DOES THE ROBOT BLINK
IT'S EYES DON'T GET DRY
THEY'RE ALWAYS DRY
WHY THE FUCK DID THEY MAKE IT BLINK
so when u jizz on her face, u know she'll blink realistically.
Can you imagine the tech needed to create an eyelid that blinks in a split second?
I called BS on the inventor saying he would never kiss her because he is in Japan... I've seen japanese guys kiss pillows with cartoon characters printed on them, so what is he talking about this Japan and not the US?
That's the joke.
Kayan L Earlier he said how it seemed life like, so you might have a harder time kissing it just like a real person because you think about it. It's easy to kiss a pillow.
Kayan L Thats the whole joke he was trying to make...
*+Kayan L* Dumbass.
'cartoon characters' you just triggered a shit ton of weebs lol
I admire the brain of all creator in this word they are amazing.
@@cessposter Hi Cessposter! I'm only amateur, but I've been around English speaking Asians and can imagine their frame of mind and how different our language is from theirs. I have also been in quite a few situations where I was in a country where I didn't speak the language and was alone, a great experience I highly recommend all should do. Maybe in part that's what helped me imagine what she was intending to say. I thought right away she was saying, "I admire all of the creative (inventive) minds in the world. They are amazing."
@@cessposter Hi! I can only guess Chim grasped what you meant. I didn't. Thank you! I have a lot to learn!
"Hidden" in the flower pot.
Zooms into a flowerpot that is 90% taped on wires and mini microphones.
and if it is so sophisticated why doesn't it use wireless mics?
Amazing progress but very creepy reporter and professor. The way the reporter repeatedly brushed his finger against the robot cheek - that was so freaking creepy- made me cringe.
SEE path 2016 haha lol
SEE path 2016 He was probably just trying to determine the quality of the skin material they used to see how realistic it was. He said he's seen many of these robots so being able to compare the skin material they use to determine what is most suitable is important.
Automatically assuming he was stroking the robot in a creepy way is just stupid. This is a technology with many different attributes. Use your head.
No kidding. That was so creepy, even the robot cringed.
Exactly what "xa xa" said, your reactions are "sonzaikan", you're humanizing the robot instead of seeing it as just an automated object
Or realizing that people love to put their dicks in dolls
She doesn't look creepy at all for me.
Edit : btw where is her LED? And is she vulnerable to deviancy?
Romanian Empire I want to live in a world exactly like Detroit become human 😂
One of the first and most important things to improve on these robots is to make them blink faster. The slow blink is creepy.
Agreed! Frequent and rapid blinks would make the robots look much more lifelike.

petros rantou weirdo
It's obvious that guy with the lap top was writing what she said
no
It actually was not that obvious.
@@nivashsingh3177 Yes, I did not find it obvious. Really.
1:03 "a Android cannot be emotional" little later "why's she so short tempered today? " lol thought she couldn't get emotional, being annoyed and mad or offended is a emotion last I checked.
that interviewer is the worst
Actually he is EXACTLY the target audience...
"What Happened?"
"She got angry.."
I'm dipping
Him hiding the fact, that he build himself a robo girlfriend
The guy sitting there with the laptop was a little suspicious...he could in principle just type the responses, then a simple text to speech would do the rest...takes care of the most difficult thing.
yes i think that's the case at least partially.
Nalis Solus now tell me, then how can he type so fast that she can respond the minute they ask her a question
im sure they know how to write neural networks
what impressed me is that . the robot basically acted like a normal person and is having a really casual talk with its inventor
- Have you ever kissed Erika?
Loading...
no, he he he
He’s not a native English speaker. The pause was him trying to comprehend the question.
If you weren’t that fluent in Spanish, and I said “Antes has besado a Erika?” you’d take a moment to comprehend the question.
You can’t spell America without Erica
I'm 100% sure he kissed that robot.
i bet you that professor banged that doll. i would buy it if the doll was smart enough to have said "liar' when the interviewer asked if the professor had ever kissed the doll.
that wouldve been gold
I think the coder just writes the responses real time , it's just a text to voice.
The robot didn't reply...the coder in the background controlling "her" did.
Dr. Ishiguro is giving me the uncanny valley effect. The robot is fine.
thought the same from the begining at 0:34 , he really creeps me out
saddest thing about her is she can't do angry face while she got mad. She makes people thought she always happy.
It may be a bit sad yeah but from experience I know that is how Japanese often handle things so if she actually was more emotive, she would probably behave the same. If you want to know more about it you can look up tatemae and honne.
I feel the uncanny valley with a lot of these robots are the mouths. They don't put enough sensors around the jaw to organically formulate words. Instead its basically a glorified hand puppet. Open or close. If I say the word "frank", my mouth and tongue do a lot of intricate articulation compared to if I say "Philosopher". A lot of these AI robots though just have a "Open-close" binary system which makes them very creepy.
I think it would be awesome to have something like this for people like me. I'm not good at socializing with real people, i'm a recluse and something like this would provide something to talk to and help develop verbal skills and challenge the brain while leaving out the sexual stuff.
Karen Spitler no.... its so pathetic that someone would use this to replace people
I prefer the company of dogs over people. Dogs love unconditionally, and have no malice or guile!
Not even the robot would like you.
Karen Spitler Unnecessary.
Mg Leo that was rude to say that to her.
I didn't feel this robot was creepy at all probably because I saw her as mannequin-like. Professor Ishiuro has created I think an amazing piece of technology unlike ever before, a very notable achievement in human history. I think if a robot that looked very real knocked on my door and at first I thought it was human, then as a conversation progressed I realized it was a robot I would probably have a strange feeling, but maybe more because I didn't know who was operating it and not trusting if it was designed with super physical strength and speed to destroy and rob someone etc. I suppose they'll have robots that can run 60 miles per hour, maybe jump 300 feet, pick up an auto mobile etc.
You know this guy is having his way with the robot.
that guy interviewing him was being creepy why did he stroke her face ew
nadiarose dude this is just a robot
nadiarose it can be turned into hentai
nadiarose It’s Bloomberg, what do you expect?
maybe just to test its sense and what respon
nadiarose he wants to smash the robot
3:34 Japanese never do that, but they can make sex dolls. Don't get it.
it was ironic....
Chinese culture > ALL
What his say?
At least japan has anime uwu
5 minutes later he bangs her and says “ No, Japanese never do that” 😶 ok
Wow the next level of "I feel fantastic"
you just bring my forgotten memory
Y’all know what’s really happening: *Two high tech robots are pretending they’re human by comparing themselves to an older model.*
clever
Daniel Petka Best comment I’ve seen here
The Japanese robot didn't seem 1/2 as evil as the Sophia robot.
ive laughed so hard when the robot didnt answer and the coder appeared with an awkward smile LMAOOO
This robot sure looks cute, but she did get emotional at the end, and that creeped me out
He did everything but kiss the robot. Maybe that’s why she’s angry. 😂
He didn't put dang-a-lang in her, either.
"Japanese never do that" Chobits
ahhahahahaha it's a bit different with chobits cmon XD
Lmao I watched that anime lol
"This might be the most life-like (and creepiest) robot ever built"
*Next video*
"Meet the most lifelike robot ever created"
what?
This robot would be much more life-like if her eyeballs ever moved. Just call me Captain Obvious, but blankly staring off into space isn't helping her cross the "uncanny valley".
Her one eye is partially shut. Just a little bug that needs to be worked out. The danger is if they make androids like secondary citizens. That was one of the arguments in Star Trek with Data.
These types of things scare the shit out of me.
Because they see into your soul. Endlessly. No escape.
It's creepy, but it's more creepy for me now because her name is Ericka and mine is Ericka too 😂
Just to go a bit creepier,today I read that Nissan is developing a system for cars,to read and react to your thoughts,and take care of things faster than you are able,ad that to a robot like this one,with advanced AI etc,could be interesting with huge potential for abuse,lets see,your android lover reads your thoughts,feeds it to your home web based servant( Alexis etc) silently,who reports it to the owners of the home system,as that system does right now,monitoring your every word,and feeding it to google,who sells any useful info gleaned,and step it up to reading what you think ,taken far enough you best be careful of what you think ,and where,...Knock knock...,who's there,...the PC thought police,come with us please !
It was several years ago when I first read about the thought sensing tech. then beginning development,now being looked seriously for use in vehicles,big brother would never abuse that kind of tech now would they ? NEVER ! (before you laugh and sneer,look into what is publicly known on the subject.)
And thats how it all starts , predictive crime system and law enforcement ,everyone is monitored everywhere , your thoughts are not your own , the begining of a nightmarish Dystopia
Clout Mother mine is Tonya so we're in this together
ahhhh~ I read an article on this :3 great to see it now in live!
Lol he didn't get the joke about Moshi Moshi at all. It's because he's like hello, Earth to Erika. It's because your not in the phone lol.
If they want to make these look good they have to stop making a whole face and focus on parts. Get a team to make eyes that look realistic. "Erika" doesn't even have eyelids. It has holes in a single sheet of latex, and the motors don't move correctly. You need people to perfect how each part works before you start making a whole face otherwise they're always going to look the same. I'll tell you how to do it even, record videos of peoples eye's natural movement to generate an algoryth for how frequently they move while at rest and what angle they move to. Same deal for when you're talking to them, when they're talking to you, when you're watching a video, etc. Then you make motors that actually mimic the muscles which control the eye. And same deal for the eye lid. Even if all the motors and pullies are too big to fit inside a head, don't worry about that at first just get the movement right. First you have to get function down, and with time, technology will provide the capability for you to alter the form. Same goes with the mouth. This flapping lip thing that doesn't even close right when it's resting is just a waste. Invent a robot tongue and lips that can make human language sounds analogue like a musical instrument. Don't just time lip flaps to digital recordings like a cartoon. Those are the major issues with this thing. Same goes for the other muscles in the face and the head movements themselves. Make a robot that does nothing but turns it's head the way a person does when they're just standing there doing nothing before you try to impliment everything all at once.
There are still a lot of things to work on. When I compare a robot with a human appearance (like this woman) with a real human, I think robots are still very stiff, which makes it very easy to tell which one is a robot and which one is a real woman.
In this respect artificial intelligence (I still don't believe in real artificial intelligence like you see in SF movies) is more advanced than robot movements are.
maikerU01: + what a waste of time + $ concerning Real Men + Women + Families !!!/???/... This not progress 4 any but the Dumber than the FU__INg shit rocks that collided in OutUrSpace !!!/???/...
there are only 43 muscles in the human face, i guess you could record video of faces reacting to different stimuli for different emotions, and sort of mimic that. many people having split second emotional reactions, widening of the eyes, lips, etc. that register on their faces even when the emotion is so fleeting that the person experiencing it may not be conscious of it. Some experts use it to determine if people are lying in murder investigations, etc. I don't think it is a pusedoscience but it is far from universally perfect and completely understood... still i wish more people in law enforcement had training in reading people's body language to know when to use force for example in the field, etc. interesting post though, good ideas, sadly many things will be sacrificed because of time, space, weight, money, etc., etc., etc.,
Creepy. Why is there even a need to invent robots when currently there are 7,500,000,000 people on Earth, most of whom need or will need a job? It would be cheaper to fly me to Japan where I could be your receptionist and I'll even make coffee. 🤷♂️
Maybe because todays society is shallow and is not really able to handle emotions or care for eldery people or kids properly?
The answer to your last question: No. The reason is scientific advancement. Innovation is what allows for expansion as a race. New technology improves every aspect of our lives. It's hard to tell where this will lead, but we should be optimistic. The Robotics field is already saving peoples' lives.
Well they don’t pay the robot.
It's called innovation dumbass, if they ever can make a decent AI then it's a game changer for the world. Sorry that you don't understand. You sound like some idiot 100 years ago that bashed on people trying to invent a nail gun and saying you have an arm and a hammer so why not use you. lol
They gonna kill us stupid ass
Right. Like there's not at least ONE person in Japan that wouldn't kiss that robot.
Creating something to fulfill your “desire” but wont answer back! Says a lot about him
I suspect human dolls robots are gonna be marketed mainly as sex dolls. The internet is mostly porn, so I assume robots will also fill that demand, the human primal instincts. To me that's almost obvious... imagine this girl robot 10x as realistic as a human, that's what will soon happen. The skin will get quite similar to our, the touch and everything. So you have all the sexual attributes of a female-except maybe the emotional complexities that also contribute greatly to pleasure, but they will imitate and emulate that very very well. And you get no risk rejection, no risk of pregnancy, no attachments all human problems eliminated, and a human-like perfect doll. Also, you'll have dolls that not only are taught how to have perfect sex in terms of physicality, but also that will be configurable to what you like. Looking more attractive than any girl in your circle. Don't try tell me that you wouldn't try sleeping with her. Not way! It WILL happen for sure and will be certainly the nº1 demand for human like dolls.
But then I think that it's not the nicest way to start a relationship... in 50 years robots will be much smarter and will realize that we are selfish bastards for starting our interaction with them by f*ing them like maniacs.
if they perfect the emulation, imagine if they perfect it where a sex doll robot gave birth to a robot baby after a human bang.
Get ready for the robot rights activists.
Unfortunately we'll still live until that time. Which is ughk...
In the 20th century people thought in 2020 all cars would fly and there wouldn't be third world countries. You see, some people just need to realize this is reality and not a fucking Hollywood movie (I am sorry for my inappropiate language). We have made progress not much but that's literally everything to it. Scientists do not have enough knowledge on how they can make humanoid robots as realistic as humans. I personally think they will have enough knowledge to make it in a minimum of 5 centuries, but will we, humans, then not be extinct?
Juan sounds like the hopes and dreams written in the Dairy of A extremely lonely Man.. LOl 😂😂😂😂
She's really pretty!
Hiroshi San seems to rely solely on the microphones for directional orientation (as of this video which is apparently 3 years old). A huge step to more natural interaction is off course when cameras are integrated in the eyes that can recognize faces and follow them!
" I think this is the most beautiful face in the world. "
Sweetheart, but have you
SEEN Jared Leto??? I'll wait.
It...breaks after saying 3 sentences. Ehm...you're not impressing me here.
Yes... She didn't answer after a simple どうですか。(How was it)...
Torva Messorem - She's quiet after 3 sentences? Nirvana!
i think they programmed her that way.. talking probably not what they have in mind for IT
Were those responses ones she came up with herself, or did the IT guy have to literally type her every word?
No. 'dou desu ka' does not mean 'how was it', it means 'how is it', or even possibly 'how are you'. She was talking about something she did that morning and then he came up with a question that doesn't relate. A human would probably say 'don't you mean: How was it??'. Then he became a b-hole and started mocking her. I would say that her decision to end the conversation was justified and intelligent.
Android means "man-shaped" (from the Greek word andros = man), a female robot should be called gynecoid.
words don't usually mean what they originally meant in the language of origin that the word came from. it's an android, dude.
and gynocoid sounds like genocide smarty pants. data was called an android in star treck ... i think it's accurate.
Andros refers to mankind, rather than man as a genre. Yet, the term "android" is correct for erica.
The word mankind doesn't refer to only men, the same idea could be applied to android
I'm posting this comment from an Android. What's the Greek word for phone-shaped?

Bitch please, you're just shaking in your boots about the upcoming robot revolution where you & many other "opinionated" females will be replaced by robots. As such, the only defense against your plummeting market value is to call it "creepy".
The man's face looks robotic - I sincerely hope all of these people aren't eventually thinking that these plastic things are going to take our jobs because there will be a revolution if this is what is behind this. Of course corporations wouldn't have to pay these things, no time off, no benefits, no retirement - perfect - working them morning, noon, and night. They don't go home and no eating lunch. What a boon for the greedy corporation. How about replace the CEO with a robot instead of the staff???
Nancy Desch no they would just have to buy each one for the price of a Lamborghini as the inventor told us it's the Lamborghini/Porsche of robots so a factory full would cost well over a billion English pounds so what company could afford it?
That has been going on for decades though, with automated manufacturing machines, in the electronics, textiles and automotive industries. They've already replaced most of the manufacturing jobs. Next in line are the service industry jobs. Those robots need to have a face and speak though. That's the only real difference.
@@ahippy8972 "there will be a revolution" reverse D:BH...?
I bet Ishiguro has a dungeon at home full of pretty robots
I was hoping the robot would switch languages. They focused on looks rather than functionality.
This robot has potential, maybe in 10-14 years it can do house chores and help people in hospitals with special medical AI and minor medical condition knowledge. it's a shame to keep her only as a receptionist, also it's it's very possible to improve the facial movements to get very close to those of humans, the idea is the use (under the external skin) a fat-like substitute that will envelop the entire skull, like a mold casting. The excitation will use electric signals like our body, therefore movements are more human-like.
Just for Fun, it just takes time. Be sure people are working on it all! :-)

"It has long been our goal to create artificial intelligence almost indistinguishable... From mankind itself."

women dont have this problem... just open the muff and wait, there will be some guy.
I'm not a woman though?
you got me on that one! good luck
mboroNoma Sana There are women who got that problem too.
And women who are picky, so "any guy" won't do.
But whatever; there are already male sex robots.
i will concede that the ugliest girl (this is subjective ofcourse) will have a remote chance with the most attractive guy . however, I believe this same girl has a significantly high chance of nailing guys who are relatively way more attractive - aka the average joe. This sadly doesn't apply if the sexes are reversed not unless the guy augments his 'attractiveness' through some form of social crutches aka wealth, status, etc
I love the view of the programmers when Erica makes a mistake or otherwise blunders. It's hilarious, because they know. On the other hand, I really need an Erica in my solitary life. We could play chess, table tennis .. have an interesting conversation and perhaps more. Of course, will androids take away your jobs? If you possess any essence of creativity, then the answer would be no.But, then again, who knows for sure?
Robot looks like a doll, not human. But her recent creation is getting more closer to human.
Can we acknowledge how fantastic mr.ishiguro's hair is?
One of my greatest fears is that one day robots will become self conscience but will act stupid so we don't destroy them
Do you mean, Like Human's ?
Please, humans are so dumb, you'll likely off yourselves before the robot's or aliens do, if we're going to be completely honest here.

It's all because he loves coffee.
I look at this as an artistic creation in the first place. There is more needed to convince me that it is a true autonomous human-like being. About the flawless way she seems to understand questions: how come that automated processing of natural language semantics generally is still very primitive and full of failures? Can you make a demo where she shows inituïtion, full understanding of complex situations perceived by her sensors (for instance traffic, people that are lying), invention of completely new idea's, advanced learning, and so on?
