ARTICLE 1
Human are born free and equal in dignity and
rights.
ARTICLE 2
Everyone is entitled to all rights and
freedoms without discrimination.
For security, ethical standards and limitations must
be set.
TO FILIPINOS
Artificial intelligence (AI) is like those in fiction
movies.
We use technologies, especially in the field of
Business Process Outsourcing and other industries.
UNEMPLOYEMENT RATE
One of the many ethical considerations in he
widespread of use of AI
FUTURE EFFECT
Further development of AI, it can act more like
human
DEVELOPMENT OF SOCIETY ALONG WITH SCIENCE
AND TECHNOLOGY
We need to be mindful to the development of
technology (AI) as it can also negatively affect us
CONTEMPORARY ISSUES
We must use the development of the it to solve
nowadays’ issues and for the general good.
WHEN TECHNOLOGY AND HUMANITY CROSS
TECHNOLOGY
Greek words techne and logos which means
discourse on art
Continuous progress to deal with the need,
time, and environment
1800’s when Paul Gottlieb Nipkow was
successful for Electric telescope (images
through rotating disk)
Alan Archibald Campbell Swinton and Boris
Rosing introduced the new system of
television with use of Cathode Ray Tube
MOBILE PHONE
Portable, handy, and for everyday use
Used to communicate and other functions
FIRST CELLPHONE
Weight: 1.1kg
Dimensions: 228.6x127x44.4mm
Charging time of 10 hrs but usable only for
30 mins
COMPUTER AND LAPTOP
Ability to perform intended task on its own
SERVICE ROBOT
Performs useful tasks for humans (excluding
industrial applications
PERSONAL ROBOT
Noncommercial tasks
Used for personal use (your house’s vacuum robot)
TELEVISION
AUTONOMY
19th century, Charles Babbage designed the
Analytical Engine—used as basic framework
of computers.
The 1st design of it can occupy a whole floor
of a building.
June 1981, Osborne 1 – 1st true portable
computer
PROFESSIONAL ROBOT
Commercial Tasks
Used for professional use (Food server robots in
Japan)
GEORGE DEVOL
American inventor
Unimate, 1st material handling robot employed in
industrial production of work
ISSAC ASIMOV
American writer and Prof. of Biochem at Bostan
Univ.
THREE LAWS OF ROBOT BY ASIMOV
1. Robot may not injure a human being
2. Robot must obey orders given by human
3. Robot must protect its own existence
WHY FUTURE DOESN’T NEED US
BILL JOY
Chief Scientist and CEO of Sun Microsystems
ROBOTICS AND HUMANITY
Argues that 21st century technologies: Genetics,
Nanotech, and Robotics (GNR) can cause harm to
humanity if not properly controlled
Actuated mechanism programmable into two or
more axes with degree of autonomy
Potential cures for diseases, extended lifespan, and
enhanced life quality (These technologies can help
us in these factors)
ROBOT
Small advances accumulate into a great power,
leading to potential catastrophe. (Small actions we
do now can affect us negatively later. Ex. of it is how
the air being slowly polluted and now we are
experiencing intense climate chance)
GNR technologies can self-replicate, unlike previous
technologies
It can multiply uncontrollably
Poses danger to humanity if not controlled
Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings (1945) showed
the destructive power of technology
Scientific advancements can be misused, leading to
mass destruction
FREEMAN DYSON’S INSIGHT
Scientist are drawn to the power of technology
Technical arrogance can lead to unforeseen
problems
Caution is needed in technological advancements
HEIDEGGER’S VIEW ON TECHNOLOGY
Questioned technology
Can reduce
(Enframing)
everything
to
mere
resources
Critical thinking is necessary to avoid danger
Science and technology hold immense power
Without ethical considerations, they lead to disaster
We must critically assess and regulate the emerging
technologies to avoid any possible problems
SUMMARY
As innovation are inevitable as we answer to today’s
need and future’s possibility, we must not forget the
reason of it all which is the betterment of the Human
life and the World. Limitations such ethical
standards and critical aspects must be taken into
consideration while pursuing further development.
