Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-Investigators discuss new findings in robotics. According to news originating from Stanford, California, by NewsRx cor respondents, research stated, "As artificial intelligence algorithms improve, we will interact with programs that seem increasingly human." Our news reporters obtained a quote from the research from Stanford University: "We may never know if these algorithms are sentient, yet this quality is crucial to ethical considerations regarding their moral status. We will likely have to make important decisions without a full understanding of the relevant issues and facts. Given this ignorance, we ought to take seriously the prospect that some systems are sentient." According to the news editors, the research concluded: "It would be a moral cata strophe if we were to treat them as if they were not sentient, but, in reality t hey are." For more information on this research see: On the Existence of Robot Zombies and our Ethical Obligations to AI Systems. Journal of Social Computing, 2023,4(4):270-274. The publisher for Journal of Social Computing is Tsinghua U niversity Press.
