Morally in Intelligent Machines

A new approach to decision making based on computational logic may trigger a sense of morality for machines in the future according to researchers from Portugal and Indonesia. The researchers used prospective logic to model a moral dilemma and then determine the logical outcomes of the possible decisions.

The development of machine ethics will allow us to develop fully autonomous machines that can make judgements based on human moral foundation. Machine ethics can also help psychologists and cognitive scientists find a new way to understand moral reasoning in people and perhaps extract fundamental moral principles from complex situations.
