Can a robot have conscience? If not, why? If yes, is a robot, having conscience alive?
As part of the Markkula Center's yearlong series of talks on conscience, George Lucas of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, formerly of the US Naval Academy, and previously a professor of philosophy at Santa Clara University, came to campus to discuss the ethics of giving autonomous military robots the authority to kill. Here is a brief summary of what he said.Lucas answered the title question of the talk "Can a machine have a conscience?" with a definite "no." But Lucas then asked what he thinks is a much better question: "Can a robot be designed so as to comply with the laws of war and the demands of morality?" To this more nuanced question Lucas answered "maybe."Beginning with a discussion of the current use of military drones, which are piloted by humans and can only fire by human authorization, Lucas moved on to what he thought would be more likely scenarios for autonomous robots. He proposed a robotic submarine on an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) mission encountering warships that might attack it. What would it do?Lucas emphasized that even human commanders in military situations often must contact leadership in order to know how to react or to authorize the use of force. Military robots in the same situations would likewise need to seek authorization to perform the same actions. It is highly unlikely that robots would be given any more authority than human commanders in the field have.
