Development of robotics has exponential raised
over the past decade. Many countries such as South Korea, Japan, and Germany
are competing to successfully create artificial intelligence to benefit
humanity. (The Huffington Post) Professors, engineers, and politics have
discussed issues referring to robots ethics and what possibilities human
society will have to deal with when robots coexist among us. Some issues that
being debated are relations between humans and robots, warfare and purpose of
self-sacrifice, and whether or not allow robots to fully function towards
self-decisions. The programmer must design the robot to follow strict
guidelines towards them behaving humanely. Robots should allow the right to
make their own decisions because if robots are self-aware of themselves, they
will have the same characteristics as a human therefore, allowing them the
privilege to choose intimacy, self-sacrifice, and self-decisions.
