Can a machine be taught to fight ethically (in a way that avoids unnecessary harm?) en-us 2021-02-28 20:38:34 UTC 2026-03-08 02:37:14 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f914.png 1577750 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260341597 I think yes because when you think about they could teach a machine to fight ethically because if they would program it to and train I really think that they could tech an autonomous weapon to fight ethically.]]> 2021-03-02 19:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260341597 1592987 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260342879 I think that these weapons CAN'T be taught to fight ethically, because if they are programmed to do only as the program says to do, they can't have any common sense or feelings, which can lead to accidental  casualties and civilian deaths instead of enemy deaths. Also since this technology is so new to us there are still unknown dangers.]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260342879 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260343420 I say no because for starters the military people would just be lazy. It would cause lots of pollution. There wouldn't be any more actual people who want to join the military because of these weapons. It would be overflowing. The point of the U.S military is to let them people in the military do the hard work, not for them to tell a weapon what to do for them.

yes, they could use less warfighter. since its programed
no, because programing is hard, since its new it could be very dangerous just by one mistake

I think that because teaching a machine may be easy with all the tech and software, but can also be very dangerous. And having a weapon being taught how to fight can backfire; there could be issues and a lot of problems. It's like having a car drive by itself, but without a driver in the driver's seat; that could backfire if there were a virus of some sort.  ]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:23 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260344446 1623465 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260344531 No, because while machines are able to make quick decisions, with the state of the current confusion and accuracy of the machines, it doesn't seem like autonomous weapons and machinery would be able to act accurately. If machines would act on the tint of the uniform, then any slight tint change could drastically change the machine's conclusion. While machines fighting ethically is something that could be used in the future, and is important since it is better than expending the lives of human beings and we do not know how reliable it will be in the future. Currently, because of the accuracy of the AI, it is better to stick to normal warfare. ]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:24 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260344531 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260345938 No, because its basically a type of object that could cause pollution and ther ecoould be people in the military that might think that the machines are going to do all the work and then they might leave and get a different job.]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:36 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260345938 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260346595 I think no because the machines could easily make a mistake/ malfunction and calm someone innocent ]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260346595 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260346605 No
I was thinking before that it might be possible but how would it be possible for a machine to do something as hard as fighting someone without it being controlled by someone. How would it know who to fight? How will it move? Will  it even be fast/ tough enough to fight a real person? Because I know there are robotic arms and legs and stuff but they are all being controlled by the user. Even if somehow they got it to work, it probably won't react fast enough to dodge punches and kicks.]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260346605 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260346768 No, because since it is a robot that doesn't have any feelings or emotion like us animals. It won't know what to choose so it might choose the wrong decision like use a rocket launcher instead of a pistol or something causes less damage and the other side/ bad side can hack into them]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:45 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260346768 1748234 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260347476 For me I think no, because were all human and there's really no enemy when it comes to someone's looks or appearance. You cant just look at someone and say enemy and then kill them but I don't know maybe they'll might program it efficiently]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260347476 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260347873 i think no because it would be way too hard for it to be in control and taught to fight for a long period time. ]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:57 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260347873 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260347991 yes with the human properly trained they can do it]]> 2021-03-02 19:30:59 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260347991 17268421 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260350134 No, I dont think these weapons can fight ethically because it would cause polution and make people not want to join the military since there are weapons that "can do the job."]]> 2021-03-02 19:31:24 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260350134 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260351329 i think yes because in the fucture we will have better tech than now wicth means that we could make the machene fight ethically]]> 2021-03-02 19:31:38 UTC https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260351329 https://padlet.com/esspille/4byfdf6ijesn4eca/wish/1260351697 I think no, because machines/robots dont have the same kind of brain a human has, so they will have to be programmed to learn.
