Robot ethics: Morals and the machine
via 33rd Square:
As robots grow more autonomous, society needs to develop rules to manage them. A recent piece in the Economist explored the issue of robot ethics and some of the dilemmas that autonomous machines present.
[more @33rdSquare & @The Economist]
See the logic here? “Lawyers” standing behind machines killing people. Who could think of a more perfect scenario?

A lot of Postum in the tunnels. Sometimes some pretty good instant. When I travel back in time, the first place I go is to a good coffee joint.

Never tried that with me. I would have came back from the future and put a big post where I was standing.

» Pentagon eyes 'human like' handyman robots: But why?
A US military agency is to announce Grand Challenge for a new generation of humanoid robots to add it to the country’s military arsenal.
Pentagon’s Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is turning its attention to legged humanoid robots. According to robotic news portal Hizook, the agency will soon officially announce its new Grand Challenge for a robot able to “operate in an environment built for people and interact with made-for-human tools.”
DARPA wants the androids to be able to drive an open-frame utility vehicle such as a tractor. The task is to get into the driver’s seat and drive it to a specified location. Then to get out of the vehicle, maneuver to a locked door, unlock it with a key, open the door, and go inside.
Will anyone even consider that this cannot go well?
