The rapid development of advanced AI applications and their use in many semi-autonomous devices has raised a new set of ethical concerns not covered by Engineering Codes of Ethics. What rule about the design and implementation of smart robots do you think should be added to Engineering Codes of Ethics to address the issue? EACH TEAM SHOULD PROPOSE A RULE to be added to Engineering Ethics Codes.
The Most Important Ethical Issue in Collaborative Engineering Projects
One comment only from each team:
Name the engineering ethics case study your team discussed and then state, in approximately 100 words, what your team thinks is the most important engineering ethics issue in that case study — and why.
How far would you go? A role playing game
Each member of each team should choose a different role. Answer the question below form the perspective of the role you choose. In your posting, be sure to state the role you have chosen and which team you are from.
The roles to choose from are:
Computer / bio engineer
Medical doctor
University Dean of applied science
Investor in emerging technology
Future parent
What limits, if any, should be placed on technologies that have the strong potential to alter significant characteristics of human organisms?
The Fourth Discontinuiity
If the premise of the 4th discontinuity is correct, it means that engineers have to treat advanced devices in the same way as medical doctors treat human beings.
