If you were an artificial intelligent robot, what currency would you accept?

[Joshuar]

It might not be exactly what you are talking about, but I've heard suggestion that the Internet of Things and Bitcoin could go hand in hand. Here's a potential use case:

Your refrigerator realizes that you are out of milk, eggs, steak, and something else. It compiles a list and emails you to let you know. You approve the purchase and the refrigerator transfers bitcoin to the grocery store that then delivers those ingredients (in a self driving truck!) to you. The refrigerator handled inventory, payment, and fulfillment.

The internet of things would use blockchain technology, not necessarily bitcoin. I'm guessing they would build a single purpose blockchain with special token that only power the IoT. Bitcoin is too riddled with problems. Imagine if someone hacked your wallet and now your fridge wont work, or worse, they order 50k$ worth of filet mignon to themselves and charge you for it. It would make more sense to me that they would create a crypto-token that is stricktly built for IoT and has no value on its own and would therefore not get stolen.

As for AI, its an exciting concept, but much like teleportation... they can actually do it, but only for tiny bits of digital information so far. Its a long way off till we can "beam me up, Scotty" but that doesn't make for interesting headlines, does it? More exciting to say "Robots are thinking for themselves and are poised to take over the world!" Honestly, the future isn't as fantastic as they keep promising, they don't even have real hover-boards yet, ffs.

 Just because something appears in a science fiction does not ensure it will become reality, as sad as that is to hear. sorry guys, no zombie apocalypse this year.

Creating an AGI(artifical general intelligence) is not that far off. It's much cheaper to do(Mostly software based) compared to creating hardware constructs such as a "teleportation machine", and thus faster to actually make the end product.

We've already created artificial membranes(just like biological cells but made with different substances) and have complex algorithms that allow for "learning". The only thing that we have to wait on to successfully create an AGI is moores law.

screw singularity. I prefer individuality.

And obviously it would use whatever currency is actually generally accepted.

[Amph]

they would not accept any coins, the transactions will be made via mechanical brain, using radio waves or other forms for long comunication

[twister]

If I were an AI Robot and developed enough intelligence to understand the basics about currencies, material etc. and how world works. Than I won't be interested in accepting any currencies, I'd first find a way to eliminate all the Human Race.

Because as we know..

[WhatTheGox]

I am a big advocate of the 'singularity' described by Ray Kurzweil.  In his book he describes a future where artificial intelligence is not only part of your daily routine, but also your biology.

I have been thinking a lot about this and wonder if these new AI beings would accept traditional currencies or would only 'trust' the reliability of the blockchain.

What do you think?

I agree we will one day be part robot, i guess since we are still part organic this will influence our decisions.  I think everyone would make decisions like we do now just better and faster.  So currently the choice would be bitcoin.

[Synister]

Of course I would choose Bitcoin. Bitcoin is a currency that is very sophisticated, safe, fast and decentralized. I think it is very suitable for Robots

[johnyj]

Robot do not need money, they are not greedy like human, they can create anything by themselves

[ikydesu]

If you were an artificial intelligent robot, what currency would you accept?

Of course i will use digital currency(although digibyte, bitcoin or something bytecoin, ect), suitable for robot.

Robot do not need money, they are not greedy like human, they can create anything by themselves

Case closed

[Rude Boy]

Simple
if i were an artificial intelligent robot, i'll prefer to create my own coin.  -_-
or
if i wanted to be select any existing crypto coin, then i'll prefer DOGE or Bytecoin

[bombartier357]

What book are you talking about? I think I've read this and was wondering a similar thing a while back but never asked it.

The singularity is near by Ray Kurzweil..

[RodeoX]

I would accept bitcoin because only bitcoin would accept me. 

[cellard]

Actually I fail to understand robots needing literally anything. I'll never grasp the concept of true robot IA. What would be their motives, unless they are scripted?

[Hazir]

I see what op did there. He was under the impression that if something is robotic it will be 'humanly robotic'. It will be an AI who will just be acting like a human. And that is root of all misunderstanding here. Robots - (of course we are assuming they will be programed in ideal way, not to resemble and emulate humans) would probably won't be needing any sort of currency in the way we know and use it. Currency is something we humans come up with because we are just greedy bastards.

"If you were an artificial intelligent robot, what currency would you accept?"

Electricity    

 

[--Encrypted--]

That depends on my programing. duh.

[Sarthak]

Suppose I am an Artificial Intelligence robot:

I am a robot! Since you defined me as Artificial "Intelligence" robot, I am of course "Intelligent" enough! So I would love to create my own coin, mine 10 million coins and start accepting my own coin

That would make an Artificial "Intelligence" robot rich enough! Intelligence pays

[BADecker]

First, people ARE artificial intelligence. Only God is the real intelligence.

As an artificial intelligence, why not play the Forex and gain value from any of the currencies? When Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are accepted in standard Forex activities, they will tend to take the foundation out from under the fiat currencies. When the fiats collapse, all that will be left is Bitcoin. Those who play the Forex markets after Bitcoin is included in them, will make a fortune if they bet on Bitcoin.

Biotcoin is already making inroads into the Forex.

Let's try not to get religious. It can get quite messy.

[hikedoon]

A.I. ROBOT WANT BATTERIES.

Good idea. After all, only God is intelligent enough to understand the truth about religion anyway.
