The Rules and Ethics of a Society with Robots (Video)

As technology speeds forward, humans are beginning to imagine a day when robots will fill roles in our society, like those explored in science fiction.

But what should we be thinking about today, as robots like military and delivery drones become a part of our society?

As we look at the unexpected impact of new technologies, we are obligated to consider the moral and ethical implications of robotics.
