Robotic Ethics Charter
Published: Mar 7, 07
Views: 2,527

In Isaac Asimov’s short story ‘Runaround’ (1942), three Laws of Robotics were suggested to govern human/robot relations. Today, in 2007, these fictitious laws may soon impact our lives, as a group of five experts finalize a Charter of Robotic Ethics, to be released later this year.

With the social, econonic and ethical implications of introducing a new form of intelligent ‘life’ to our world, ground rules for the future must be established.

An ethical code to prevent humans abusing robots, and vice versa, is being drawn up by South Korea. The Robot Ethics Charter will cover standards for users and manufacturers and will be released later in 2007. It is being put together by a five member team of experts that includes futurists and a science fiction writer. (disinfo)
