		<description><![CDATA[Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, also known to us as UAVs, have already been in the centre of roboethics discussion for many years. But now, the discussion has expanded from voices of the academia and the public to the US government.
Brought to my attention by the Robot Ethics facebook group (Roger F. Gay), the following is a direct copy from the US Committee on Oversight and Government Reform website.
They provide links and documents, as well as webcasts of the first and second panel. (Link: Hearing on Rise of the Drones: Unmanned Systems and ...]]></description>

The Agenda with Steve Paikin (broadcasted by TVO) covered a special issue filmed at the Perimeter Institute, Waterloo, Ontario - I can&#8217;t believe they filmed it so close to where I did my undergrad (University of Waterloo).
The show frames the discussion around the question &#8220;How will robotics change our lives and our evolution?&#8221;, talks about what is currently considered &#8216;feasible&#8217; in robotics and what it means to our future lives.
Guest speakers are (excepts from TVO below), and embed of the video is also provided for you below:

This New York Time book review summarizes some interesting content from Michael Belfiore’s book ‘The Department of Mad Scientists’.
The following excerpts introduce a few interesting roboethics questions from the NYT book review: Book Review &#8211; History of Darpa &#8211; &#8216;The Department of Mad Scientists,&#8217; by Michael Belfiore &#8211; Review &#8211; NYTimes.com.

Insurgents Hack U.S. Drones &#8211; Wall Street Journal

On December 17th (Tuesday last week), our sister blog Moral Machines (a really informative and active blog run by the authors of the book Moral Machines: Teaching Robots Right from Wrong) made two posts about US drones.
One was the news about the largest drone attack by the US military (the first embed above), which happened that day &#8211; and I quote Moral Machines:

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been posting more military roboethics entries than any other topics. The tag cloud at the bottom of the side bar definitely reflects it. It might be to your surprise to know that this was not done intentionally.
When I am in blogging mode I read up on the RSS&#8217;s I have on the side bar (I hope you find them useful) first. Then I move onto Google Readers and skim through almost everything that contains the word &#8216;robot&#8217;. As a result, my posts tend to reflect what is being most ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Future Weapons from the Discovery channel did an intro on Little Bird UAV, built by Boeing.
To suite the target audience the coverage is filled with masculinity. There&#8217;s no mention of ethical concerns, and shows the advantages of the UAV technology. But a good video that shows what current UAV technology can offer.

		<description><![CDATA[The Ninth Annual Year in Ideas &#8211; Magazine &#8211; NYTimes.com
One of the ideas introduced in The 9th Annual Year in Ideas by the The Times Magazine is military roboethics.
Titled &#8220;Guilty Robots&#8221;, the magazine mentions Ronald Arkin&#8217;s recent work in military robotics and ethical architecture, as well as a new direction he is taking: modeling guilt.
After considering several moral emotions like remorse, compassion and shame, Arkin decided to focus on modeling guilt because it can be used to condemn specific behavior and generate constructive change. While fighting, his robots assess battlefield ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The use of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) in war has been one of the most controversial topics in the field of Roboethics. While the talk of sex robot still remains futuristic, military robotics is definitely considered to be today&#8217;s topic.
This year alone, I saw at least three new books published on this topic: (in order of publication date) Peter Singer&#8217;s Wired for War; Ronald Arkin&#8217;s Governing Lethal Behavior in Autonomous Robots; and Armin Krishnan&#8217;s Killer Robots.
And it was great to read today&#8217;s New York Times article that covers this very ...]]></description>

The Robotics Revolution and Conflict in the 21st Century
What happens when science fiction becomes battlefield reality?
An amazing revolution is taking place on the battlefield, starting to change not just how wars are fought, but also the politics, economics, laws, and ethics that surround war itself. This upheaval is already afoot &#8212; remote-controlled drones take out terrorists in Afghanistan, while the number of unmanned systems ...]]></description>
