Response To SungWoo's Writing

     SungWoo claims that "Philosophy needs to be with robotics so that we can truly find what virtue is and apply it to future robotics." In supporting his contention, SungWoo assumes that robots should be treated as similar beings to humankind. I generally agree with the idea that future robotics must develop with vision; however, I cannot agree that robots and humans are alike.
     First of all, even though robots have artificial intelligence, their intellect cannot overcome the artificiality. True, robots may be programmed to memorize all contentions and theories set out by philosophers - from ancient to contemporary. Yet, they CANNOT develop another whole new theory that is applicable to the status quo; they are not "experienced" and thus "know" what is and has been happening in the world. Humans are the ones who initiate a hypothesis and struggle to prove it. Creation and advancement are the jobs existing for humans. Robots with artificial and programmed intelligence cannot surpass humans' capacity.
     Second, robots lack vision. In the contemporary society, humans lead their lives with passion and goals. They struggle to achieve the better. Having no emotions at all, robots never feel wistfulness or misery and hence, never try to advance. The fundamental lack of motivation makes robots impossible to become any existence close to human beings.
     SungWoo showed sharp insight in his writing. Robots, if badly controlled, can be a great harm to our society. Their malfunction can cause huge problems. They might be used to kill people and that would be massive. Thus, robotics should be developed with certain philosophy and regulation. However, the philosophy and the extent of regulation should be set by HUMANS. It's not the robots who should do such works, because ROBOTS CAN NEVER BE HUMANS.

  1. There seem to be some flaws in your logic (SEEMS, I too only have assumptions to go on). The issue is whether or not algorithms can be developed to allow robots to plan and modify their structure and evolutionary development... "Impossible is nothing"--right? Perhaps we should not rule out that robots can help us improve their emotive capacity as well, then what?
