Is it possible to develop “moral” autonomous robots with a sense for right, wrong, and the consequences of both?
Researchers from Tufts University, Brown University, and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute think so, and are teaming with the U.S. Navy to explore technology that would pave the way to do exactly that. “Moral competence can be roughly thought about as the ability to learn, reason with, act upon, and talk about the laws and societal conventions on which humans tend to agree,” says principal investigator Matthias Scheutz, professor of computer science at Tufts School of Engineering and director of the Human-Robot Interaction Laboratory (HRI Lab) at Tufts.
“The question is whether machines — or any other artificial system, for that matter — can emulate and exercise these abilities.” But since there’s no universal agreement on the morality of laws and societal conventions, this raises some interesting questions. Was HAL 9000 (HAL = (Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer) moral? Who defines morality?

Les objectifs de RoboEarth sont de prouver qu’un référentiel d’informations en réseau comme celui-ci accélère grandement le processus d’apprentissage et d’adaptation qui permet aux systèmes robotiques d’effectuer des tâches complexes. Puis, en second lieu, de montrer qu’un système connecté à un tel référentiel est capable d’exécuter de manière autonome des tâches utiles qui ne sont pas explicitement prévues au moment de la conception. La vision deRoboEarth est de créer un Internet pour les robots ainsi qu’une base de connaissances commune où les robots peuvent partager leurs connaissances sur les objets, les environnements et des actions avec d’autres robots.

This post is similar to the one which I posted two days yesterday. Google and Amazon are going to be pushing inovation in the package delivery industry. |
