sci-fi reality
Leave a comment »
Yet another example of a possible sci-fi future becoming reality. This ABC article reports on South Korea's proposal to issue a Robot Ethics Charter.
“…the guidelines are expected to reflect laws put forward by Isaac Asimov in his 1942 short story Runaround.
These are: Robots may not injure
humans or, through inaction, allow humans to come to harm; robot must
obey human orders unless they conflict with the first law; and robots
must protect themselves if this does not conflict with the other laws.”
