Saturday, October 28, 2017 Asimov's Laws 1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. 2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. 3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws. "Handbook of Robotics, 56th Edition, 2058 A.D."1 The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1322What are your thoughts about a robot who is given citizenship? Does Saudi robot citizen have more rights than women? Robot Citizenship A robot should not be given citizenship until it is determined if the robot will follow the Three Laws of Robotic (Asimov's Laws) or any other type of law. Robots are as dangerous as human beings. Sophia has already broken numerous laws in the country that made her a citizen. In addition, she has threatened to destroy humanity (Never mind that humanity is attempting to destroy itself.). I suspect that threatening to destroy the human race is breaking some type of local, national, or international law, which means Sophie is both a criminal and antisocial. Perhaps making Sophia, the robot, a citizen is an attempt to suggest that women are brainless objects created only to serve a male's needs and desires. You will notice that Sophie's head is not covered by skin, hair, or a burka; any of which, would hide the gears that are the robot equivalent of a brain. You will also notice that Sophie's facial features are pretty boarding on beautiful. She looks like an "after photo" in a plastic surgeon's office. Sophia was created by Dr. David Hanson of Hanson Robotics, whose goal is to create and bring to market “the most compelling and engaging humanlike robots with greater-than-human wisdom, that are capable of developing a deep, trusted relationship with people.”2. I don't think there is any such thing as "greater-than-human wisdom" because wisdom is the results of life experiences not programming. We acquire wisdom as part of the human learning process. Robots can be programmed with knowledge, but not the wisdom to use that knowledge. Footnotes |
