Teaching AI Ethics Using Science Fiction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cultural and political implications of modern AI research are not some far off concern, they are things that affect the world in the here and now. From advanced control systems with advanced visualizations and image processing techniques that drive the machines of the modern military to the slow creep of a mechanized workforce, ethical questions surround us. Part of dealing with these ethical questions is not just speculating on what could be but teaching our students how to engage with these ethical questions. We explore the use of science fiction as an appropriate tool to enable AI researchers to help engage students and the public on the current state and potential impacts of AI.

One major factor is also the lack of bold new vision and excitement about computer science, which thus results in a view of computer science as a field wedded to routine programming. To ...

متن کاملNPCEditor: Creating Virtual Human Dialogue Using Information Retrieval Techniques
Imagine talking to a computer system that looks and acts almost human — it converses, understands, can rea son, and can exhibit emotion. As an example, recall such computer characters created by Hollywood moviemakers as the librarian in Time Machine, the holographic professor in I Robot, and of course, the holodeck characters in numer ous Star Trek: The Next Generation episodes. Once the realm ...
