Does this remind you of iRobot? but no Will Smith.
South Koreans are currently drafting a code of ethics to allow humans and robots to live together. Sounds a bit creepy.
“Robot ethics are part of human ethics. The purpose of this charter is to find ways of coexistence between humans and robots, not to restrict the development of robotics,” Kim told AFP.
At the forefront of robotics, the Koreans are the best ones to do this kind of thing. Can you imagine our government trying to create a code of ethics for robots; when they need one for themselves. The robots are a series of tubes. I digress.
“A society in which robots and humans live together may come faster than we think, probably within 10 years.”
Now I wouldn’t mind a Robot to do tedious jobs like vacuuming, hello Roomba, but this is sounding like something from iRobot. Standards to protect humans from using robots illegally, and protecting data acquisition seem to be at the forefront.
Is that robot or Robot?
