For the Asimov-impaired, the Three Laws appear here.
The most interesating excerpts here:
... The South Koreans are not the only people working on such a code, but others are independent efforts by scientists themselves uneasy at the implications of their work....
This I like; scientists concerned over the social and political dimentions of science. We need more of that....The initial findings of one such group, the European Robotics Research Network (Euron) were unveiled last summer, and went as far as raising the question of the ethics of robot sexuality, and whether sex-toy robots should be developed....
And there you have it, straight from the Too-Much-Information Superhighway. Glad to see someone's thinking about the ethics of robot sex toys. This meme adds a whole new meaning to the phrase "hardware upgrade," doesn't it?How about robotic celebs? They cannot be any more obnoxious that BenKat, Tommifer, K-Fed and the evil that is Brittney. Oops, Hollywood's already done that one
I could go on, but why?
