Extra Credit Paper April 23‚ 2013 Moral Machines – Ethics The future of computing and machinery is changing at such an extremely fast pace that we need to invest in the application of ethics to the world of machines. But there are many problems with programming a machine to act ethically. Ethics are simply emotional expressions and machines can’t have emotion. Computers don’t have the practical wisdom that Aristotle thought we use when applying our virtues. What about the ethics of the lesser

Abstract The Bridgeport Interact 412 Vertical machining center is supported by the language developed by Heidenhain. The language is a modified version of the conventional G-codes with added features. The machining center has the facility to use either the G-codes or the modified language. The modified language also has the facility of using functional parameters within a program by substituting them with variables which are either entered at a later stage or calculated by the controller

and machines. These machines due to their advanced artificial intelligence would probably want to control the whole world and to surpass their creators. Is this scenario plausible or is it just a “human fantasy” with a view to selling books and films? On the one hand‚ if we think of all the movies based on the revolution of the machines‚ it seems possible that‚ in the future‚ man will have to wage wars on machines (as in «I‚ Robot»‚ for instance). Indeed‚ we can see how rapidly the machine evolves

BALANCING OF ROTATING MACHINES The first thing to be explored to control vibrations is to try to alter the source so that it produces less vibration. This method may not always be feasible. Some examples of the sources of vibration that cannot be altered are earthquake excitation‚ atmospheric turbulence‚ road roughness‚ and engine combustion instability. On the other hand‚ certain sources such as unbalance in rotating or reciprocating machines can be altered to reduce the vibrations. This can
