It has been claimed that we are on the verge of an Artificial Intelligence revolution and that, as with any revolution promising a utopia, we should heed warnings that all might not be well in the promised land of super intelligent machines. Indeed, many consider that the enslavement of humanity by such machines is a real prospect and not just the stuff of SciFi. To help prevent such outcomes, I will argue that machines need to be able to reason about moral and ethical issues, and then describe how my research in logic and argument can contribute to this aim.
Dr. Sanjay Modgil is a senior lecturer at King's College London. His research is in the broad area of Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on logic based models and dialogue, and how rational conclusions are arrived at through the exchange or argument and counter-argument.
