Robot Ethics

Lately he has concerned himself with the ethics and social aspects of robots as they play more of a role in different aspects of human life, realising an edited text[1] bringing together some of the key thinkers in the field including James Hughes, Selmer Bringsjord, Kevin Warwick, Peter Asaro and Noel Sharkey.

Education
gollark: More of an OS than 99% of so-called OSes for CC.

gollark: There's the optional ***GAME MODE*** keyboard, which messes up keypresses at random.

gollark: PotatOS also has an automated recycle bin - deleted files go there instead of being deleted.
