Družbena in etična vprašanja, ki jih sprožata razvoj in uporaba robotov

But, Izabela (author), Markič, Olga (mentor)

Živimo v času, ko se robotika in umetna inteligenca izredno hitro razvijata, produkt tega pa je hiter razvoj robotov, tudi humanoidnih. Vse novosti imajo potencialne negativne posledice, zato jih je pred popolno vključitvijo v naša vsakdanja življenja potrebno preprašati in se na njih dobro pripraviti ali pa nanje vsaj primerno opozoriti. Magistrska seminarska naloga je namenjena temu, da na kratko predstavim omenjena področja in se posvetim etičnim vprašanjem, ki jih sproža prisotnost tako humanoidnih robotov, ki danes še niso del našega vsakdanjika, kot tudi drugih robotov, ki so že aktivni člani naše družbe. Ta etična vprašanja so: robotsko prevzemanje človeških delovnih mest, uporaba robotov v vojaške namene, samovozeči avtomobili, odnos med človekom in robotom, ki v naših domovih prevzema različne vloge, od čistilca do ljubimca. Z lastno empirično raziskavo prikažem odnos starejših do že prisotnih robotov, kar se mi zdi za namen te naloge pomembno, saj je človeško dojemanje robotov pomemben dejavnik pri vrednotenju tega, ali naj bi bili (humanoidni) roboti bolj ali manj vključeni v naša vsakdanja življenja.

Abstract

We live in an era where robotics and artificial intelligence are successfully developing. The product of this is the development of all kinds of robots, even humanoids. All these novelties have potentially bad consequences. This is why it is very important for us to rethink all possible consequences and alarm the world about the bad ones. This master thesis is at first briefly presenting topics of robotics, artificial intelligence and robots. After that we concentrate on ethical questions considering our jobs, robot use in the army, ethical issues with self-driving cars and, at the end, we examine ethical questions considering human-like robots and robots that already took place in our day-to-day life as cleaning helpers or even as lovers. We also present empirical study of human (elder population) relationship with robots that are already in our homes. This point of view is very important, because human attitude towards robots also helps us define how good or bad the presence of such robots is.
