Sarah McInerney of Newstalk radio sits down with Noel Sharkey, as part of Galway International Arts Festival’s 2017 First Thought Talks series. This talk, titled 'Doctor, Who’s in Charge of the Robots?' addresses the ethics of robotics and what the future may hold for artificial intelligence. More GIAF First Thought Talks are available at [ Ссылка ].

Stephen Hawking has said, ‘…success in creating AI could be the biggest event in the history of our civilisation.’ But do humans have an ethical responsibility in light of the rise of artificial intelligence that will soon be commonplace in our world? How can artificial intelligence be used for good instead of the evil that seems to pervade predictions about robots in our media?

Noel Sharkey is Emeritus Professor of Robotics and Artificial Intelligence at the University of Sheffield in the United Kingdom. His current research is focused on the ethics of robot applications. He is the principal spokesperson on the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots, an international coalition that petitions governments to preemptively ban autonomous weapons. Sharkey is Co-Director of the Foundation for Responsible Robotics and is also Head Judge of BBC’s Robot Wars.
