Ethical Regulation of Robots Must Be Embedded in Their Operating Systems

Position paper ProfessionalGlobalin force

This academic chapter argues that ethical and legal control of future AI and robots will be dangerously brittle unless computational deontic logics or moral principles are embedded directly at the operating-system level. Authored by researchers from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, it emphasizes that logic-based ethical engineering is essential for dependable machine moral reasoning. The work is published as part of a construction manual for robot ethical systems.

What the document contains

What's covered

The text covers the theoretical necessity of integrating formal moral reasoning and computational deontic logics into robot operating systems.

What's missing

It does not provide statutory regulations, binding governmental policies, or enforceable legal codes.

Key takeaways

Ethical control in robots and AI must be woven into the operating-system level to avoid brittle behavior.
Computational deontic logics and formal verification methods are necessary to mechanize moral and legal principles.
Logic-based ethical engineering provides a rigorous foundation for machine moral reasoning.
