I read recently in an article by the Guardian that BSI has released a set of guidelines for ethical robot design: BS8611 Robots and robotic devices.


According to the article, it is intended for use by robot and robotics device designers and managers and is designed to help people in these roles to identify and avoid areas of potential ethical harm. 


Alan Winfield, a professor of robotics at the University of the West of England, said they represented “the first step towards embedding ethical values into robotics and AI”.


The Robotics & Mechatronics TPN have a regular slot in their annual programme on  Robot Ethics and you can read more about our previous events in our blog section 


 
  • Like in 'I, Robot' - 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.
