Developments in robotics engineering have resulted in several weird and wonderful advancements across many fields including military, manufacturing, service, and entertainment. As robots get more autonomous and more powerful, we’re going to have to program them to not be evil.
PRESENTED BY MCCARTER & ENGLISH
We will discuss the new applied ethics in Robo-morality: Machine Learning & Roboethics is concerned with what rules should be created for machines and robots to guarantee -their design for ethical behavior. Should we ensure that machines with artificial intelligence behave in ways that prioritize human safety as well as their own safety, above their assigned tasks? And can we do this in accordance with accepted precepts of human morality? Other questions:
- Why do we need to care about ethics in AI?
- What made you focus on this emerging subject in techno-ethics?
- How can we regulate robo-morality?
- Are there any progress in terms of programming machines to act with human beings in an ethical way?
- In your opinion what is the major challenge to develop robot and machine learning ethics for the following decade?
