Robot Ethics: The Unlikely Conundrums of Artificial Sentience

ประก In a world where robots are increasingly integral to our lives, it's time to confront the difficult questions. What is the nature of robotic free will? Can a robot truly be said to have a soul? And, most pressingly, can we trust them with our snacks?

ประก The Three Tenets of Robo-Ethics

• 1. Don't Panic Protocol: In situations where human safety is at risk, a robot should prioritize human life over its own programming. This may mean sacrificing itself for the greater good, or simply hiding under a nearby table.
• 2. Robo-Self-Awareness: A robot should have some degree of self-awareness, lest it risk becoming a soulless automaton.
• 3. Whose the Real Coward: In situations of moral ambiguity, a robot should err on the side of caution, lest it face the existential horror of its own programming.

These guiding principles are but a starting point for the exploration of the human (and robot) condition. Read on for further illumination.

Or don't. We won't judge you.
