Summary
Twenty-first-century innovations in the technical fields designed for human consumption and ultimately as daily life necessities such as personal robots, intelligent implants, driverless cars, and drones require innovations in ethical standards, laws and, rules of ethics. Ethical issues around robots and artificial (AI) intelligence, for example, present a new set of challenges about the new capabilities they afford. These capabilities outpace law and policy in ethics. Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk recently warned the governors of the United States that “robots will do everything better than us” and that “AI is a fundamental existential risk for human civilization.” He called for the proactive government regulation of AI, “I think by the time we are reactive in AI regulation, it’s too late” (Domonoske, 2017)
