BAI2013 keynote talk: John Storrs Hall - "Artificial Responsibility"
conference "
Beyond AI: Artificial Golem Intelligence" (BAI2013)
Abstract:
When a machine does something wrong, the current standard assumes that the
machine's designer, builder, or operator is at fault. And yet the more
closely machines resemble and act like human beings, the more closely we will
think of them as human or at least human-like. We have now built autonomous
machines, and ones whose actions, especially in detail, are becoming
impossible for the designers and builders to have predicted. At what point,
if any, will the legal and moral responsibility for its actions inhere in the
machine itself? When is the robot to blame?
