A robot’s identity card can display its name. This can be used to register the robots as authentic. If a robot from one country is imported into another, it should comply with the new country’s rules and regulations. We must have universal identification for robots in a country. Why do we need identity cards for robots? A robot made in a country is built according to the ethics and regulations of another country. In the second country, how do we ensure the outside robot complies with its regulations? In the future, robots would use AI for a specific make in a country, in accordance with that country’s AI regulations. So even if a company says Meta makes AI robots in another country, ethics differ. The middle name can also include the country name, as per future unilateral standardization. We need to standardize naming to register all robots globally. The import of robots should be subject to immigration rules and regulations once robotics reaches its peak.
In the same way, robots would need soft copies of passports embedded in their LED screens, or, if there is no LED screen, the owner should possess the robot’s passport if the robot plans to visit another country with the owner in an aircraft (if safe), ship, or road. These are far-future processes, but we must think about them now to establish standards beforehand. If a robot travels on an international flight, it should comply with the requirements of the country it is traveling to. It may get a permit to travel, or it may be rejected. The robot’s passport would also contain the AI models it uses, the bugs fixed, and named upgrades; this is where the need for the full names of those models comes in. Hence, this article.
It’s time we started naming robots, say, Robo Bugfixer 2.0, chatKKT, and the like. That is, a robot should have a full name, a name the company wants to give it based on its properties and features, a version number, and a surname, maybe the name of the company manufacturing it.
These names can help us identify the robots if we spot them in the market or along the road. These names can help classify robots by use. This classification can be used in competitions and daily use alike.
People can find out what a robot does just from its name; the more user-friendly the name, the easier it is to understand what a robot is specialised to do. Gone are the days when one robot does all things; why not make specialized robots? Robots specialized in a single area can be useful as human experts in that area.
These names can be used in AI models; for example, we have an AI model that generates Java code for the backend. Its name can be Metu Java 3.0 Backend, or something like that. Java is a name that people around the world, across many generations, understand. Java was the name of the job market just a decade ago; everyone was learning Java, and all job vacancies were filled with the word Java. Now such things are notions of the past. But this is just to illustrate how we can name an AI model with the company name, use, version, and surname, to clarify the model name and its use.
There is no hard-and-fast rule for how a company names its robots or models. But if we all universally agree on some standardization, this can be useful in the future, when there is a bombardment of models for specialized types and specialized robots. Standardization eases the mess of the future.
Age would come when robots bombard the market, not now, though; it will take time, maybe a decade. But we must plan that, when we go to market in the future, we will see a robot and be able to ask its name. By the model name, we know its function. Another example is “ChefKing 3.0 Mety Cook”. Such a definition can help in window shopping, real shopping, or internet shopping for a robot. We need to work out standardized naming conventions of models, upgrades, and robots alike.
Same with AI models: there are so many companies; they can add their names to the surname or middle name and use them as in the models’ names. The first name can be a trendy name, which can be any name that companies decide. Standardization in naming models and robots can help in the mess around the future world of robotics.
Towards a well-organized world, where AI models are recognized by the manufacturing companies, the hosting companies, and the skill sets they possess. The skill sets can be coded as code words too, but the more human-friendly the name, the more it will be remembered.
