The main idea in the TV show titled "Humanity vs. Machine"
The main idea in the TV show titled “Humanity vs. Machine” is that a robot under the control of humanity is likely to work better now that such a robot will always work to make sure that people are not harmed in any way, work for the good of man, and after a certain period, retire now that its continued leadership is likely to hurt people. In most of the TV shows, the hero is always presented as a masculine, genius man. However, in this case, the hero happens to be a female character. This is aimed at bringing out the humanity part of human beings now that women are believed to have more humility as compared to men.
The fictional character Dr. Jeanette Bohg
The show settled on a fictional character Dr. Jeanette Bohg. In this case, she turns out to be the hero following her special achievement as scientists in the robotics field. She is a well-renowned robotics and researcher who makes use of several methods of issue solving to find solutions to the problems that other mathematicians and scientists were unable of doing.
Dr. Bohg's heroic character traits
The TV show mainly covers several displays and adventures in the field that Bohg has specialized in to bring out the many heroic character traits to the viewers. She comes out as having an excellent combination of several different attributes. She stands out as the main character and main idea behind the show is developed around her.
Dr. Bohg's intelligence in challenging situations
During the show, in different episodes, Dr. Bohg displays amazing intelligence in challenging and tough situations. In the first episode, when examining the mind of one of the robots, Dr. Bohg displays to the viewers great levels of intelligence. Now that this robot is a mind-reader, for Dr. Bohg to understand what takes place in the synthetic brain of the robot, she has to vigorously analyze it, and using her intelligence she determines that for her to stop the robot from hurting others following what it says to them, she is expected to act smarter than the robot, which is a difficult task.
Dr. Bohg and the three laws of robots
Dr. Bohg focuses her work on the three laws of robots with one of them being that a robot should not cause any harm to humans. On the basis of these laws, she manages to figure out the weakness of this robot, she shares with it words related to hurting people and being hurt and that confuses it to the level that the robot shorts out and dies. This is just one of the many occasions that Dr. Bohg shows her intelligence in different adventures and assorted situations in the show.
Dr. Bohg's intelligence in problem-solving
The laws of robots also state that robots are meant to solve problems or make work easier for man. This is brought out by Dr. Bohg ventures in the show as she demonstrates how she has great intelligence regardless of the situation and that she is in a position to handle problems no matter how hard they are. In several occasions in the show, she shows her intelligence through reminding her workmates that robots will always be infallible, and in the event that problems come up that a robot has failed to produce the right information, Dr. Bohg goes ahead to prove that the failure is out of human error and should not be considered as the robots’ fault.
Dr. Bohg's common sense and judgment
Dr. Bohg did not just show intelligence in her work and judgment, but also in the immense common sense levels she showed. This is seen in the next episode where she needs to determine if one of the robots is a humanoid or not. She responds by informing her colleagues that they are just basing their judgment on circumstantial evidence in finding answers to the puzzle yet they cannot prove the same evidence. In this episode, it is evident that she is well aware that some of the circumstances do not always offer the exact solution to a problem or issue.
Dr. Bohg's analysis of the relationship between humans and robots
In the following episode, Dr. Bohg is seen to be really concerned by a robot that was small and appeared to be lost. The robot had been developed on the basis of a modified First Law that in its case allows a robot to permit a human to come to harm through inaction. This is the conditions in which humans and the robots are working on and it turns out to be possibly being harmful to humans with time, and the robots lack trust on humans not to put them in danger by mistake.
Dr. Bohg's understanding of robots' sentience
Dr. Bohg analyzes this situation by referring to the case where a robot with the same medication and working on under the same law may commit murder. It does this by dropping a heavy object on a person while being aware that the quick reflex it has would enable it to catch the heavy object in time hence the person will not be harmed. However, Dr. Bohg also reasons in this case that after dropping the heavy object, the robot also has the ability to choose not to catch the heavy object. She also addresses the issue of what is based on in measuring how robots are not human in nature in another episode. Dr. Bohg shares with the viewers the fact that despite the fact that robots are normally treated at humans tools, the recent past and development have seen increasing hints that robots are developing sentience.
Dr. Bohg as a robot psychologist
In this relation, the corporations and companies responsible for producing robots have scientists and engineers like Dr. Bohg deal with supposed malfunctions and glitches, most of which turn out to be obviously not flaws and faults in the programming of robots but hints of desire or dissent to have equal treatment and this makes it more alike to a dictator who is slowly killing people who are opposing them.
Dr. Bohg's views on humanity and robots
Dr. Bohg, in the way she has been displayed in the show, comes out as a robot psychologist and not a scientist, technician, or a programmer, and this shows that those who design robots at least have an idea of how complex their creations really are, even if they are still in the process of understanding them. The scenes and episodes in this TV show have been produced in such a way that the position and views of Dr. Bohg on humanity are that humanity is ruled best by robots now that man has no idea of what is best for him. It is evident that she has lost trust in humans and directed her faith in Robots on the basis of the three laws of robots.
