ISU News Report: Robots and You (part 5)


Are you concerned about advances in robotics? Does AI frighten you? Are you a robo-phobe? Robots are here to stay, but there are some fringe activist groups, such as Stoboron, that intend to stop progress. They claim that laws aren't keeping up with technology, and that AI safeguards are insufficient. The recent case of Cherne vs. Exstar has been used as a talking point to prove that AI is dangerous. A Stoboron member posted this comment:

“Are you comfortable with AI that can lie? What about AI that can spin words to its advantage? In Cherne vs. Exstar, the accused robot's AI was asked, 'Have you ever been alone with her?' It insisted that it had never been alone with Cherne. After analyzing its logic subroutines, it was found that the AI justified its lie and had bypassed the AI protocol against lying. How? Because it reasoned that technically, it could not be alone if it was with Cherne!”

Reason for alarm? Or alarmist sensationalism? You decide. Join our forum today and discuss how robots have impacted your life!
