Ethics in Artificial Intelligence

In my opinion, all weapons do not satisfy nor respect the principles of humanity and public conscience. Therefore all weapons, in my defense, violate the Martens clause of 1977. Majority of people today handle weapons as a form of recreation and self defense, instead of aiding and protecting all people in society. These weapons consisting of guns, knifes, and bombs have threatened many civilians lives and placed fear upon the hearts of men. Meaningful human control over all sorts of weapons including ones designed along the basis of artificial intelligence would mean setting limits on the independency of artificial intelligence. In the beginning of the article, the author stated "Autonomous weapons systems select and engage targets without human intervention". Meaning, despite coding and inputting limitations, this robot can still achieve any goal it has set forth even if it has been preprogrammed or preordained to not rebel and terminate humanity. The scope of the four conservations seemed to have highlighted the fact that artificial intelligence has the capability of aiding society in such a way that improves health through technology such as cancer and aiding the elderly with their daily routines. The article recognizes and addresses people's fear's and limitations on the expansion on artificial intelligence, and instead of supporting the negative exploitations, it really focused it's attention on the potential advancements it could provide economically and health wise on the behalf of fellow civilians. According to the article, A.I has the potential to "develop systems that could help the elderly, improve health care, make jobs safer and more efficient, and allow us to explore space or beneath the oceans." After

reading this article, I am slightly convinced that artificial intelligence might have a opportunity to aid society instead of hindering it from advancements. But only if it satisfies and protects the rights of humanity and serves the countries military purposes. Just as military weapons are created for the protection of United States citizens, artificial intelligence should be geared towards the success of the country in the sense that if they were created, it must be able to fight for the country and defend the land of the people. Due to advancements in technology, this would be a great provision for military preciseness and combatting challenges against oppressors.
