Artificial Intelligence

Robots are cool. I would actually love to be around robots during my life. I actually wouldn't mind owning a robot and using it to make my life easier. But nowadays robots are seen as a bad thing because they are not properly being introduced to the public. The military for example is using AI robots to eliminate enemies when fighting in a war. Not only do I believe this goes against Martens Clause from 1977, but robots shouldn't be made to kill. If AI robots are used to kill then it would just "violate fundamental principals of human dignity by allowing machines to choose whom to kill" (Russel 2).  It will be unjust for a human to die because of a robot whom they cannot even defend themselves from. If humans are to go to war, the only way a humans life should be taken away from is by another human. Robots such as AI should be able to be controlled by humans. Humans should put restrictions on technology in order to not harm innocent people. Meaningful human control is when nothing is able to go against the orders of humans. AI robots should be in the control of humans at all time and should have no self conscious. In the article Ethics of Artificial Intelligence, many things are argued on whether robots should be accepted into our society or be blocked out. In the first section of the article Take a Stand on AI Weapons, it claims AI robots are bad because of military usage. The second section Shape the Debate, Don't Shy From It, is about how robots are not bad they are just not properly introduced to society. The third section Distribute AI benefits fairly, talks about society will not be able to benefit from them because they wouldn't be able to afford them and how robots can actually benefit us medically but doctors wont accept them. The final section Embrace a Robot-Human World, is about how society should learn to accept technology advancement because it can actually benefit us. The medical field are one of the people who will can be impacted to the usage of robots in our community. Doctors believe that robots will not be able to accomplish any tasks a human can do. Doctors need trust and they wont be able to trust a machine that has no proof when advising what procedure to do on a patient. Although doctors care about human lives, I believe they wont accept robots because they don't wanna lose their job. Everyone who isn't rich fears that as well and that is why I say robots aren't properly introduced to the public. Before I finish my long blog post, I want to leave you off with something that came to mind when reading this article. WALL-E is an example of how robots can benefit humans. Throughout the movie you can see robots (who are controlled) make humans live their life easier.
