EcoWatch: It`s hard to deny climate change when some of the most respected people in the U.S. affirm its existence. That`s what happened this week when Military Advisory Board (MAB) of the Center for Naval Analyses (CNA) released its National Security and the Accelerating Risks of Climate Change.

It is not possible to discuss the future of national and international...

US military begins research into moral, ethical robots, to stave off Skynet-like apocalypse
2014-05-09 14:37:14| Extremetech
The US Department of Defense, working with top computer scientists, philosophers, and roboticists from a number of US universities, has finally begun a project that will tackle the tricky topic of moral and ethical robots. This multidisciplinary project will first try to pin down exactly what human morality is, and then try to devise computer algorithms that will imbue autonomous robots with moral competence -- the ability to choose right from wrong. As we move steadily towards a military force that is populated by autonomous robots it is becoming increasingly important that we give these machines, these AIs, the ability to make the right decision. Yes, the US DoD is trying to get out in front of Skynet before it takes over the world. How very sensible.
