Social and Ethical Issues on Robots.
Social and Economic effects on replacing people with robots in the work place:
-its going to be expensive, not all offices will have enough money to replace employers with robots. some may need to cut down on resources for other departments in order to get the robots. (Equality of Access)
-social implications: people will be laid off due to robots taking over the job (AND THE UNIVERSE!) (Control & Security)
Ethical decisions regarding the use of robots in situations that might endanger human beings:
- you’ll have to choose which people would be working with the robots and even still they might be endangered by them.
Social impacts of human interaction with robots: Ex: artificial pets and robots for the disable.
-less responsibility
-not responsible to making robot feel good since they got no feelings. Areeba: there’s no give n take…just TAKE J
-WARNING: you might get attached to the robot and the robot doesn’t have emotions to love you back so you might be emotionally deprived. (Reliability)
Social impact and ethical consideration regarding the use of robots in medicine. For Ex: robotic surgery, computer controlled prostheses.
-robots won’t be able or realizes or understand the pain a human patient goes through after the medicine (anathesetics) wears off.
-if they do surgery and then something goes wrong, robots wont be able to make a decision and handle it since they are programmed to do one thing only. (People & Machines; Reliability)
Reliability of robotic devices particularly in life-threatening situations:
-robots cannot be relied on because even though they might be able to dispense the danger, they won’t be able to fully analyze the situation and hence make the better decision to save a humans life. (Reliability)
