Robots Will Rule the World


Robot Ethics Charter

Posted in Robot News by Tobor on the March 8th, 2007

“The so-called Robot Ethics Charter, as proposed by the South Korean Government, will reflect the three laws of robotics as put forward in the 1940s by science fiction writer, Isaac Asimov.

Those laws demand that robots not injure humans, that robots obey humans, and that robots protect themselves provided this doesn’t conflict with other laws.

The South Koreans say the time when robots think for themselves is in the not too distant future.”

Duhhh!

    Robot ethics, robot morality - we need to decide if a robot will give it up on a first date, or if they are allowed to laugh when someone falls over…these are important issues people :)
