• Resumen

  • The article discusses the need to teach autonomous robots how to act ethically as their role in society increases. According to the authors, robots that are designed to make autonomous decisions, such as those that assist the elderly, face ethical dilemmas everyday and one way to ensure that the robots who interact with humans act ethically is to program them with general ethical principles. Topics include an overview of Nao, by Aldebaran Robotics, which is the first robot to be programmed with an ethical principle, and various artificial-intelligence (AI) techniques that produce the principles themselves through the abstraction of specific cases of ethically acceptable behavior using logic.
