Alicebot AI Ethics Committee - http://www.alicebot.org


Ill just post this for some thought, but I think the Ethics Committee =
should
really be more about (or at least sounds like to me) on how an =
intelligent
entity (like Alice) should and can be compared with human productivity =
in
all ways.  Im sure that when the AI Movie comes out and ethics are more
specifically addressed (maybe based on the movie, maybe not) but things =
like
legal issues, opinion forming, machine learning, all the non developer
topics should be addressed in some form or another.

I should almost become much like a religion (granted Im not too =
religious)
but if humans follow laws (constitution, commandments, etc) there should =
be
some that specifically addressed to entities like Alice.

So to start you should come up with a logical ten commandments for AI in
general as it applies to Alice.  They shouldnt really be ten based on =
what
is in the Bible, but rather should always be an ongoing development of =
the
Ethics committee, to form a "goodness" to what entities that are not of
human nature should/can/could do.

Does that make sense or way too out there?  I find it to be rather =
logical
step to accomplish especially if you can gather the developers are the =
ten
commandments for Alicebots so that some type of rules are "recommended" =
and
"accepted".
