SUMMARY:Robot Ethics
DESCRIPTION:\nProf. Alan Winfield\nBristol Robotics Lab\, University of the
  West of England\nLike any transformative technology\, intelligent robotic
 s has the potential for huge benefit\, but is not without ethical or socie
 tal risk. In this lecture I will explore two questions. Firstly\, the incr
 easingly urgent question of the ethical use of robots: are there particula
 r applications of robots that should be proscribed\, in eldercare\, or sur
 veillance\, or war fighting for example? When intelligent autonomous robot
 s make mistakes - as they inevitably will\, who should be held to account?
  Secondly\, I will consider the longer-term question of whether intelligen
 t robots themselves could or should be ethical. Seventy years ago Isaac As
 imov created his fictional Three Laws of Robotics. Is there now a realisti
 c prospect that we could build a robot that is Three Laws Safe?
