I thought that the article was really interesting. I didn't know that any country in the world was close enough to proclaim the lofty goal of a robot in every household in less than 6 years. The ethics also seem fairly logical. It is important that humans maintain control over their robots, though I think we are still a long way from having robots capable of "mutiny." It should be exciting to reach the "threshold" mentioned in the article where the artificial intelligence in robots is advanced enough to make them household items and a part of our everyday lives.
Well, I never thought I'd see the day this would happen. Especially so soon as well. Thanks for the information, I'm actually very excited to see the year 2013 and how much the world would change.
Well. A lot of my relatives live in South Korea. It would be interesting to see how they reacted to having a robot in the house, especially my grandparents and my great-grandmother. It would revolutionize the Korean traditional style of living, which could be a good or bad thing.
Well the age of the robots is almost here..wonder how it will work out
The age of the robots is not far away-wonder how it will work out
As everyone has said, that was a quite fascinating article! I am truly looking forward to seeing the development of robot technology in the near future. There is an infinite number of tasks that could be aided by robots, but I also believe that some tasks should be left up to humans. For example, the idea of the "sentry robot" seems good on one level, but also, I would be afraid of a robot with a gun. How could the robot distinguish between good people and bad people? And what if the robot malfunctioned and began doing more harm than good? I'm sure that issues such as these are being addressed by ethics committees, but it is still scary to think about. I hope that psych students 50 years from now will NOT be answering the question, "Which is more likely, a shark attack, or a robot attack?" :D
I find it interesting that South Korea is thinking ahead, not only in the field of robot technology itself, but also in the field of ethics.
In most movies in which robots play a large role, the protagonist is fighting against a system that didn't foresee their potential. Also it has been obviously fiction, I never thought that people, let alone a government, would see robots (or their creators, really) as a threat that was worthy of a code of ethics.
Although it may seem that there is no danger of anything like "I, Robot" actually occurring, it is good to see that people are thinking ahead and closely monitoring such a novel field.
wow. by 2013? that is very soon. what would the robots do? prepare food, clean the house, wash the dishes, do the laundry? i probably wouldnt mind having a robot doing my chores for me...
