Robots could destroy our jobs, our economy, and our world
| At the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting last weekend, a group of computer scientists and ethicists discussed the impact of advances in artificial intelligence and robotics on humanity. "We are approaching a time when machines will be able to outperform humans in almost every task," said Moshe Vardi, a professor of computer science at Rice University in Texas. "Before that time comes, society needs to confront the question: If machines can do almost everything that humans can do, what will humans do? "A typical answer is that we will be free to engage in leisure activities," said Professor Vardi, "but I don't find the prospect of a life of leisure only attractive. I believe that work is essential to human well-being." Wendell Wallach, an ethicist at Yale University, called on the robotics industry to invest some of its funds in studying the ethical, legal and social impacts of artificial intelligence technology. He believes that ethicists and social theorists should be involved in the research and development of artificial intelligence. He said that machines should not make decisions that can lead to human deaths. He believes that programming machines to kill people would be a kind of "inherent evil" and that machines are unpredictable, cannot be fully controlled, and are difficult to attribute responsibility. They will undermine basic ethical principles. Autonomous killing robots will completely erase humanity on the battlefield. |
