NEW ANDROID ROBOT TECHNOLOGY MORE THAN MACHINES

ANDROIDS ALIVE ONLY A MATER OF TIME
THE FUTURE OF ANDROID TECHNOLOGY
This and the key aspect to human emotion being psychological patterns or defense triggers. At the highest levels, an AI will most likely never develop a thought process around anything other than a programmed sense of self-preservation. Most of our social interactions are based on personal experiences and presumptions from the past, and how to achieve the reaction we're looking for from our peers.
Simply put, your android bride of the future will probably not exhibit behavior that would be perceived as "daddy-issues" or any other social conditioning unless it was programed to.
But on the other hand, I perceive all of our emotions as being secondary to our own self-preservation, as well. How we act and the things we do are all traced back to the notion of survival. Even the blanket term of "love" is simply the amalgamation of various survival triggers that we quantify as one emotion. So over a long enough time span, I suppose an Android beings could be programmed for similar patterns of adaptation. From that perspective, being programmed for self-preservation by DNA and being programmed by a technician's algorithm aren't all that far removed from each other, just from an objective standpoint.
But who knows?
Personally, I think if we ever got to that point there wouldn't really be a need to incorporate it into some sort of manufactured vessel, as we would have the technology to simply augment the human brain with the linear problem solving capabilities of a Strong AI. But this still doesn't take into consideration the inherent chaos the human mind sometimes exhibits.
Following this logic, I assume the robots would be compared to humans as long as we shared the same space. For the reasons outlined above, I have no doubt that humans would create a robot colony in a such a state that the robots would be unaware of humanity. Thus allowing them the freedom to create their own society unfettered by awareness of a superior species, and create similar circumstances that led to our mental/emotional development. This would likely be a multi-generational project that could be used to give us insight as to how natural evolutionary processes manifest.
Of course, we'd have to protect ourselves from the eventually that they might create dangerous weapons that could do harm not only to themselves, but to us. For instance, if they were on a planet, we would have to implement some sort of...I don't know...radiation belt around the planet to prevent them from leaving the designated "living space".

Will they one day reach consiousness, will they live and have even emotions I think you may want to formulate that question in terms of
Personally I doubt strong AI will exist in my lifetime, but who knows what the future holds once we finish the silicon trail for Moore's law (15 years? then we move to carbon?) or where quantum computing or bioengineering and growing processors will go. It could be interesting but I wouldn't worry about it any time in the next 20 years, the Turing test is very safe for the moment.
