What if?

Ethical Questions How to determine if a robot is conscious? ● Can we “unplug” a Conscious robot? ● Would Conscious robots be afforded rights? (voting and otherwise) ● How could we pay or compensate an AI? ● Should Conscious robots be armed? ● Will Humans be safe in a world with Artificial Super Intelligence, or even General AI? ● Will Harrison Ford, Keanu Reeves, or Arnold Swartzenager be around to save us? ●

How to determine if a robot is conscious? Turing Test Student Test ● ● Human can’t tell difference between an AI An AI can enroll in a college-level course, ○ ○ Can be “duped” than answer high-level questions about it ○ Coffee Test Employment Test ● ● AI enters a house and makes a glass of Performs as well as humans in an ○ ○ coffee without any help/specific economically important task programming

Can we “unplug” a Conscious robot? Sleeping or Death for the robot? Should a robot have the exclusive right to turn itself off?

Should a robot be afforded rights? Question of Citizenship

Should a robot be afforded rights? Question of Citizenship Voting Rights Other Constitutional rights

How could we pay or compensate an AI? Kantianism ● Violation of the Second CI ○ What Compensation would AI accept? ○ Social contract ● Give the Robots what they want ○ What do they Want? ○ Utilitarianism ● Brings down cost of goods ○ Without work, humans may lose meaning ○

Should We Arm Conscious robots? Lethal autonomous weapons threaten to become the third revolution in warfare . Once developed, they will permit armed conflict to be fought at a scale greater than ever, and at timescales faster than humans can comprehend. These can be weapons of terror, weapons that despots and terrorists use against innocent populations, and weapons hacked to behave in undesirable ways. We do not have long to act. Once this Pandora’s box is opened, it will be hard to close. We therefore implore the High Contracting Parties to find a way to protect us all from these dangers.
