Quasi-Autonomous Robot Monsters
     


A new Anne
Corwin essay posted at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies does an
excellent job of addressing what autonomous means. Is a simple C program
autonomous? If not, who really made its decisions, the programmer, the
boss, the customer? Are the robots common today autonomous? Not in the
sense that a person, a cat, or a mouse is autonomous. They're more like
tools, something an autonomous machine could never be. Are autonomous
robots a desirable (or possible) thing build? Why are people so spooked
by the idea of autonomous machines? Why the rush to sort out the legal
issues of robot rights before we have fully autonomous robots to enjoy
those rights? She notes that the world is already populated with loads of
autonomous animals - yet humans have spent millennia trying to reduce
their autonomy. So why is it we want to increase the autonomy of
machines? If we do create a fully autonomous robot, is it even ethical
to expect to keep it in a lab and experiment on it?
