인공지능 로봇과 인간의 관계에 대한 윤리적 성찰과 전망

Abstract

This paper aims to explore relationship between AI robots and human beings and to reflect on it ethically. Nowadays, the conception of human life have been developed in accordance with the advance of technology, robotics, information based on networks and big data, etc. At the moment, AI robots can learn knowledge, recognize human users, and communicate with them by conditioned program and algorithm. AI robots, that is, is seen as an quasi-ethical being, not a just machine. An aspect of relationship between AI robots and human beings, for example, of communication and exchanging emotions, is like a emotional process of empathy among human agents. In that AI robots are the products of imitation on human beings, a feature of communication is based on quasi-empathy. The main task to ethical life in future, therefore, is to utilize AI robots as a tool that has the only target on realizing common goods. In one of the main concerns about AI robots, it is expected to have the strongest level of autonomy and intelligence through machine learning. This is potential fear like SF movies that robots destroy humans, even though their activities are conditioned by programme and algorithm. In the end, AI robots are in the control of the principle of ‘self-denial’ for humans in the value network of life, operated conditioned autonomy.
