Topic
Issues concerning with computer ethics faced
by the world

Introduction
Computing in recent times have raised many
topics over which we have highly diverse
opinions and thoughts. The idea of computer
ethics hit hard to us since many of us find our
freedom in computing issues by curbing the
privacy and rights of others. This sensitive
domain of computing has raised many issues
since recent years.

Recent issues regarding

Computer ethics
a) Next generation robotics
b) Emergent artificial intelligence
c) Sense and avoid drones
d) Neuro-morphic computing

Evolutionary Robotics
Definition

Evolutionary Robotics is the

application of artificial evolution to
robotic systems with a sensory-motor
interface to the world.

Some questions are imposed on us regarding the

safety of the robotics
1) How they in general are going to harm mankind
2) How will we balance between technology and
human replacement?
3) The problem in front of us is that whether
robots will follow human code of conducts or
not?
4) It is also questioned that with the rise in
evolutionary robotics will the human
requirement be replaced.
5) Will they widen human interaction and
relationship ?

Artificial Intelligence
Definition
Artificial

intelligence (AI) is the intelligence

exhibited by machines or software. It is also the
name of the academic field of study which studies
how to create computers and computer software that
are capable of intelligent behavior.

Artificial Intelligence imposes similar sort of

questions
1)How much can we achieve out of it
2)How much of it should we have in our lives.

Sense and avoid Drones

Definition

Sense and avoid drones are aircraft

machines that have the ability to sense
what is around and can be operated from
distance without a pilot

Many ethical question arise with the rise of sense

and void drones
1)That whether in near and distant future this
technology be misused since it has a greater
probability of imposing threat on mankind than
others.

Neuro-Morphic Computing
Definition

Neuro-morphic computing is the

use of software system to mimic
and imitate neural systems
The rise of neuro-morphic computing take us
one step ahead in all of it as with the progress of
it scientist now want to fuse in the technology
with robots so that human brains live even when
the body decays.

So lastly this question arises that

1) Is it ethical to compete with nature or to make an alternate to human
beings?
All these questions collectively open new horizons of ethical questions
that need practical answers and solutions. I hope by knowing what they
are , you find yours.
