Russell argues that as robots take on more complicated tasks咧欣,it’s necessary to translate our morals into AI language藏鹊。
For example,if a robot does chores around the house膘盖,you wouldn’t want it to put the pet cat in the oven to make dinner for the hungry children胧弛。 “You would want that robot preloaded with a good set of values尤误,”said Russell。
Some robots are already programmed with basic human values结缚。For example损晤,mobile robots have been programmed to keep a comfortable distance from humans。Obviously there are cultural differences红竭,but if you were talking to another person and they came up close in your personal space尤勋,you wouldn’t think that’s the kind of thing a properly brought-up person would do。
It will be possible to create more sophisticated moral machines茵宪,if only we can find a way to set out human values as clear rules最冰。
Robots could also learn values from drawing patterns from large sets of data on human behavior。They are dangerous only if programmers are careless稀火。
The biggest concern with robots going against human values is that human beings fail to so sufficient testing and they’ve produced a system that will break some kind of taboo(禁忌)暖哨。
One simple check would be to program a robot to check the correct course of action with a human when presented with an unusual situation。
If the robot is unsure whether an animal is suitable for the microwave凰狞,it has the opportunity to stop篇裁,send out beeps(嘟嘟聲),and ask for directions from a human赡若。If we humans aren’t quite sure about a decision达布,we go and ask somebody else。
The most difficult step in programming values will be deciding exactly what we believe in moral逾冬,and how to create a set of ethical rules黍聂。But if we come up with an answer,robots could be good for humanity粉渠。
