    The robots are governed by 3 main laws: “1) A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm 2) A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law 3) A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law (Asimov…

    When Isaac Asimov envisioned a world in which robots would be as common as humans, he determined all of the ethics and morals that would bind these smart machines with three rules: “1. A robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction allow it to come to harm, 2. A robot must always obey a human, unless this conflicts with the first law, 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as this doesn’t interfere with the first or second law” (Asimov, 1941). These three statements were baptized as the Three Laws of Robotics, and to the day they serve as a standard for robots and a goal for artificial intelligence researchers. But as the Laws were created in a time when people thought that by 2015 visiting Mercury would be a routine…

    Moreover, giving robots legal rights might positively impact how modern technology is developed and utilised. By considering machines as sentient beings with rights and protections, we can promote the creation of more ethically designed electronics. In turn, this can result in the creation of technology benefiting society as a whole and help allay worries about machine abuse, which is an underlying issue in the cyber world. By authorising machine rights, they would be subject to regulation and surveillance as humans are, according to Foucault, thus implementing them to be used ethically and diminishing technical misuse. In addition, the implementation of legal personhood’s extension to non-human agents can be achieved with the help of comprehensive changes in the legislative and regulatory areas.…

    Generally, the adoption of robotics and artificial intelligence becomes tainted when thinking of the negative stigma. Those opposed to the implementation of robots hypothesize, “some sort of arms race that will lead to the rapid advancement and propagation of things like autonomous “armed quadcopters,” eventually resulting in technology that’s accessible to anyone if they want to build a weaponized drone” (Cite). In other words, the adoption of autonomous technology would cause concern due to the ease of creation. While not being misguided, the argument depicts the national climate as a technological wild west. With the internet age, the spread of information becomes an inevitability. When given accessible information, one becomes inclined to utilize the knowledge. Rather than pushing away technological evolution, results could instead be found in the adoption of emerging…

    Future Eugenics

    Transhumanism is the ultimate goal of eugenicists; the human will be improved far beyond normal human functioning. This will be achieved by merging with our greatest competition- technology. This will give will enable us to have “Self-directed evolution” (ʻVariations Under Domesticationʼ, (2013)), we will never again be limited by our biology. Robot intelligence may one day far exceed that of human intelligence, causing humans to become obsolete. At a bioethics lecture entitled “Bioethics 2025: what will be the challenges?” Dr Dill Haddow predicted that by 2050 we will all be cyborgs. We think of robots as artificial beings created by coding but human beings are also subject to a genetic code- our DNA. Human beings learn behavior in order to survive our surroundings, making us superior intelligence. But what if robots could learn behavior too? Dr. Mark Tilden the creator of the BEAM robots, has successfully made robots which are not programed to walk but can learn to walk in order to survive (INLOGY Documentaries (2015)). Robots are our biggest rival and in order to survive we must merge with it and become a superhuman race.…

    In this day and age, new technology is everywhere, but it’s usually in the form of phones, computers, and, now, watches. However, we’re forgetting one, robots. Now, they’re still quite popular, but they’re mostly the ideals of science fiction worlds set so far into the future we’ve migrated to space. Is it really so farfetched of an idea, though, to think that maybe we could achieve that level? No, in fact and despite the spotlight being diverted away, we’re heading down the path to robo-world already. What a robot is and has been is quite a lenient description, but no one can deny how much they’ve already shaped our lives. According to the passage “Robots Long Ago” by Karen Brinkmann, “Today robots help people with everything from surgery…

    For ages, human beings learn from teachers over the world to live their life. They learn how to read, to count and even to speak. However, certain parties have recently proposed that the teachers responsibilities should be replaced by robots; the fully programmed machines. People with sound mind and wise thinking would strongly believe that the proposal is ridiculous. They are totally opposed this issue in terms of reducing the quality of human touch, increasing number of unemployment and wasting money.…
