One thing is a robot after it exits the production line and it's quite another after someone modifies it's original programming. Hackers will always exist as long as programs do. Think of it this way, when toys such as Sony's AIBO ended up getting it's AI hacked; Sony intially protested such modification to it's default AI algorithms but was eventually faced with the futility of having no power to stop the hackers and released developement tools to facilitate what was being done anyway. Imagine when we have full scale humanoid robots, fully sentient, self-aware and which can also use our tools to replicate themselves. All it takes is one hacker and one rogue robot to spawn legions of reprogrammed offspring. Ethics are useless when applied to robots, we need to perfect human ethics for that to be feasible; and given the military application for robots is just too tempting for our current unethical governments to pass up in some Cold War style arms race in the near future I don't see how that is possible(barring the sudden evolution of humanity past it's current warlike troglodytic state).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Darth Obvious]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 12th 2007 5:44PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
