BRAIN. Broad Research in Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience-Are We Safe Enough in the Future of Artificial Intelligence? A Discussion on Machine Ethics and Artificial Intelligence Safety

<p>Nowadays, there is a serious anxiety on the existence of dangerous intelligent systems and it<br> is not just a science-fiction idea of evil machines like the ones in well-known Terminator movie or<br> any other movies including intelligent robots – machines threatening the existence of humankind.<br> So, there is a great interest in some alternative research works under the topics of Machine Ethics,<br> Artificial Intelligence Safety and the associated research topics like Future of Artificial Intelligence<br> and Existential Risks. The objective of this study is to provide a general discussion about the<br> expressed research topics and try to find some answers to the question of ‘Are we safe enough in the<br> future of Artificial Intelligence?’. In detail, the discussion includes a comprehensive focus on<br> ‘dystopic’ scenarios, enables interested researchers to think about some ‘moral dilemmas’ and<br> finally have some ethical outputs that are considerable for developing good intelligent systems.<br> From a general perspective, the discussion taken here is a good opportunity to improve awareness<br> on the mentioned, remarkable research topics associated with not only Artificial Intelligence but<br> also many other natural and social sciences taking role in the humankind.
