Governing Lethal Behavior in Autonomous Robots

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Ronald C. Arkin in his thought-provoking book, Governing Lethal Behavior in Autonomous Robots. Published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2009, this compelling work spans 278 pages and delves into the moral and ethical dimensions of autonomous robots, particularly in military applications. Arkin explores the concept of creating an 'artificial conscience' in a new class of robots known as humane-oids, which have the potential to operate more ethically than humans on the battlefield. This book offers essential architectural design recommendations aimed at the post facto suppression of unethical behavior in robotic systems. Ideal for professionals and enthusiasts in robotics and military ethics, this title is a must-read for anyone interested in the future of autonomous technology and its implications for warfare. Enhance your understanding of the ethical challenges faced by military robots today and the innovative solutions proposed by Arkin.
