Brothers in arms written by Julie Reeves is a fiction science novel. The story tells the adults in the town where Finn lives are Android robots. His brother Adam is a fake. Although he is a robot, he has human feelings. Finn's friend Ellie accidentally discovered the secret of the robot, so she was arrested. Adam wanted to send Finn to Rebel city safely, but they were attacked by the robot chasing them on the way, and Adam died to save Finn. Finally, Finn and Ellie reunited. They didn't know what their real family had suffered. They thanked Adam for saving them from the robot hell and became each other's family. Although the story is science fiction, we should clearly realize that we should not rely too much on advanced technology, or it will threaten us in the future.
More people's work is being gradually replaced by highly advanced technology and the increasing number of unemployed people will lead to serious social problems. Although most people are still having positive attitudes toward technology’s affection in daily workings, the concern of highly advanced technology replacing human labor is getting stronger. The whole society is coming to a time of technic improvements, to illustrate, Unmanned driving, industrial Internet, smart mines, smart logistics, and smart retail, these advances witnessed the rapid progress of technology. These improvements in technology will become a risk for us to be replaced. For example, according to relevant reports more and more companies are using intelligent financial accounting systems to replace the work of traditional financial accounting personnel, as a result, the accounting will lose jobs. The increasing number of unemployed people will increase the burden on the government and even cause social unrest and other problems.
With the gradual development of artificial intelligence and other technologies, the original ecological environment of the earth will be further damaged, so the human living environment will be destroyed rapidly. Modern people can hardly live without electronic products, but every year electronic product manufacturers discharge waste into nature, which worsens the natural environment. At present, the global annual emissions of CO2 into the atmosphere are about 23 billion tons. 20% more than at the beginning of the 20th century. In addition, high-tech factories will discharge the heavy metal wastewater generated in production to nature. These heavy metal wastewaters are heavily polluted and harmful wastes, which cannot be degraded and digested by nature. If the air and water on which people live are seriously polluted, the conditions for people's healthy living will become worse and worse in the future.
Never depend on advanced technology too much, establishing a balance between advanced technology and human labor and assuring AI never threatens mankind is necessary. The fiction story Brothers in arms imagines that in the future, Android robots maybe control human beings by implanting chips into people so that human beings have no feelings such as happiness, anger, and sadness. This story reminds us never to depend on AI for everything, or we will lose the ability to think and create. I hope that the tragic things in the story will never happen. Human beings have feelings. No matter how intelligent AI is, it can never have the true feelings of human beings, and it can never replace human brains. High technology has greatly improved our comfortable life, but we cannot rely on AI for everything. A balance must be maintained between human primitive labor and the ability of creativity and AI to prevent people from being enslaved by AI.
In conclusion, the book "Brothers in arms" warns us that the development of science and highly advanced technology brings not only benefits but also many hidden dangers, which will erupt at any time. High technology is a double-edged sword. We should maintain a balanced and stable development in the interim. We should try our best to avoid the frivolity in the book and the tragedy of Fin and Adam. Similarly, we should also prevent AI from completely replacing manual work, ensure that we have absolute control over AI, and do our best to protect the environment. Therefore, it is necessary to keep alert and avoid excessive dependence on high-tech life. These high technologies are designed by our human brain, and they can never replace the real human brain.
