Socially Responsible Roboticists Ponder War Robots
     


A San
Francisco Chronicle article offers insights into discussions among
roboticists and computer experts at Stanford's Technology in Wartime
conference. The researches have gathered to "consider the ethical
implications of wartime technologies and how these technologies are
likely to affect civilization in years to come". Among the topics
discussed was whether scientists can create war robots that behave more
ethically in battle than human soldiers. One scientist recommended that
roboticists who are asked to work on a military project make sure they
support
the goals of the organization and that they will be able to publish
their research. Ronald Arkin
noted that the Pentagon is determined to
create war-fighting robots, so it's up to socially responsible scientist
to make sure the robots are given ethical self-control. Peter Asaro
countered that "scientists should not dignify what he considers the
naive notion that robots can be programmed to kill, but only in an
ethical fashion." He believe robots should not be allowed to make
autonomous "killing decisions".
