Ethics for the robot age

Article Abstract:

The optimists feel that robots are machines that would double in quality every 18 months following Moore's law, whereas, pessimists feel that humanoid robots would reproduce and increase their intelligence, thereby wiping out humanity. However, both the views are suggested to be wrong, as the most intelligent designers need to have either software engineering or self-organization in order to animate robots.

Your_new_immune_system

Article Abstract:

Nitix, based on Linux, includes the usual networking services- web, email, file, transfer but adds a tightly interconnected set of control programs. The autonomic approach makes Nitix more or less self-healing, just like the biological system on which it has been based.
