The ethics of artificial intelligence
Machine Morality
the
study of the design and building of
moral
machines also known as AMAs
(
Artificial Moral Agents).
Roboethics
the study of how humans design,
construct
, use and treat robots and other
artificially
intelligent beingsSlide3
What is Artificial Intelligence?
What
exactly does a complex problem consist
of ?
What
exactly constitutes a
relationship?
To
what degree can it
even be
said that a machine has comprehended and digested information? Slide4
Applied AI vs
.
Strong AI
Applied AI
The use of software to accomplish specific problem solving tasks or problems that do not fully encompass human intellectual ability.
Strong AI
Artificial
intelligence that matches or exceeds human intelligence.Slide5
The Turing Test
Proposed in 1950 by the British Computer Scientist Alan Turing
Turing suggested that “a computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human into believing that it was human
.”Slide6
Alan Turing
T
hought
that the question of whether machines can think was
irrelevant
He
instead
opted for the central question, how
well can you play the “Imitation Game?”The Turing Test has been widely criticized by the field of Artificial IntelligenceSlide7
Implications of Machine Morality
Who’s morality should be impressed
upon
these machines and to what extent
should
we describe these ethical rules?Slide8
Asimov and
The
Three
Laws of Robotics
1941 First known use of the word “robotics” by Isaac Asimov in the science fiction short story
Liar!
“The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.” – Isaac Asimov
Slide9
Asimov’s Three Laws
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.Slide10
The Zeroth
Law
0) A
robot may not harm humanity, or,
by inaction
, allow humanity to come to harm.Slide11
Implicit Laws in Tool Construction
A tool must not be unsafe to use. Hammers have handles, screwdrivers have hilts
.
A tool must perform its function efficiently unless this would harm the user
.
A tool must remain intact during its use unless its destruction is required for its use or for safety.Slide12
Problems with The Three Laws
Shackling intelligent constructs with hardwired laws may be a form of slaverySlide13
Problems with The Three Laws
We may occasionally (or perhaps routinely) need robots to kill people.Slide14

Final Thoughts
Popular culture
plays a big role in how
we,
as
humans,
look at
robots.
Our perception of artificial intelligence will guide the advancement and morality of our future automatons.
This will determine if we are left with extremely complex tools OR artificial individuals who think for themselves. Slide22
