Links for Monday 12-28-11

Drone-Ethics Briefing: What a Leading Robot Expert Told the CIA (Atlantic Monthly) Great discussion of the ethics and legality of using robots, AI, and robotics in national defense. The most interesting thought in the piece: Does the prohibition of torture under international law change if a soldier can resist pain through microrobotics?

Can Loving a Robot Lead to Divorce? (HuffingtonPost)– Get ready for the federal Defense of Marriage Act of 2025, making it illegal to marry a sexbot. Is more morally acceptable to marry a robot than a sexbot?


Siri – The Horror Movie – Hard to say who exactly is liable here. I’d have to revisit the famous torts case Freddy v. Jason.
