CREATING MORAL ROBOTS Katherine Steen

DEFINING TERMS • Robot – programmable machine that mimics human activities • AI – capability of a machine to imitate intelligence human behavior • Autonomous – independent/power to make own decisions • Morality – social set of standards for good or bad behavior

TYPES OF MORAL ROBOTS 1. Ethical Impact Agents 2. Implicit Ethical Agents 3. Explicit Ethical Agents 4. Full Ethical Agents

#1: ETHICAL IMPACT AGENTS • Ethical consequences for its actions

#2: IMPLICIT ETHICAL AGENTS • Employ some automatic ethical reaction to given situations

#3: EXPLICIT ETHICAL AGENTS • Similar to Implicit • In addition: they use general principles or rules of ethical conduct for various kinds of situations Nao Robot Video

#4: FULL ETHICAL AGENTS • Similar to Explicit • In addition: • Conscious • Intentionality • Free Will

DEFINING MORAL ROBOT • “an artificially intelligent machine with capabilities to make decisions based off a programmed set of social norms”

THE PROBLEM • Figuring out how to implement morals (right vs wrong) into robots when we do not know the answers ourselves

THE PROBLEM CONTINUED… • Norms: a standard or pattern, especially of social behavior, that is typical or expected of a group

THE THREE STEPS

#1: MEASURE SOCIETY’S MORALS • Define ethical behavior in measurable parameters • Agree upon the correct moral decisions for a robots

#2: COLLECT HUMAN MORALITY • Unbiased data of ethical processes from millions of people around the world Moral Machine Example

#3: MAKE ROBOTS TRANSPARENT • Public needs to know ethical values programmed into robots and their outcomes to trust them • Communication is key

CONTROVERSY • Fear of killer robots from sci-fi movies, video games, etc. • Should robots have morals?

#1: DE-HUMANIZED WORKERS • Will children and the elderly population be in the hands of emotionless robots instead of human empathy and sympathy they require? • Bias workers

#2: RESPONSIBILITY • Robots are in the hands of everyone (people with good and bad morals)

ETHICAL THEORIES • Kantianism • Rabota: “servitude of forced labor” • Theoretically, robots could have a conscious in the future • Creating moral robots is okay • Rule Utilitarianism • Beneficial Consequences: Improve the standard of living • Harmful Consequences: possible end of the human race • Harms are greater than Benefits à Creating moral robots is bad

THE FUTURE

MY OPINIONS • Excited for the future • Treat robots like teenagers • Fear society will restrict further research and development of moral robots
