The CEO of ROC tells the story about the first robot who became intelligent. He clearly states they deactivated him and even shows his "bio kernel" which was removed. Sooo, fast forward 20 minutes and Jacq meets this intelligent original robot. Didn't seem "deactivated" to me.
shareCorrect it wasn't the prime robot. The "boss" robot even stated to Jacq that nobody altered it, that it just happened, just like any living organism. Life happens and to the living there is no choice in the matter. Can you opt out of birth? Neither could the "boss" opt out of self-recognition/birth.
shareYes, nobody altered it, but it doesn't mean it wasn't the prime robot.
It's great if this comprehension is enough for you, but unfortunatelly it isn't for me.
You can see it as a mutation happening in a living organism, which can also be compared to a software bug (the manager on the construction site in the beginning mentioned robots failing more and more often), except that in this case it didn't result in a failure.
shareIf I recall, what you refer to as the prime robot was nothing more than a brain AI.
shareIt was the prime robot for that group, but not the first one ever reaching conscience.
