Initially, the promises and perils of artificial intelligence are brought forward in pointing out （1） that it remains an open question whether moral decision making, understood as situated ethical judgement, is computationally tractable, and （2） that the kind of artificial intelligence, which would be required to cause ethical reasoning, would imply a system capable of operating as an independent reasoner in novel contexts （sec. 2）. In continuation thereof, issues of responsibility are discussed （sec. 3 and 3.1） and it is claimed that unacceptable responsibility gaps may occur since unpredictability would presumably follow full system autonomy. These circumstances call for a strong precautionary principle, in the form of a preemptive ban.展开更多

The development of such systems can significantly promote innovation in AI technologies. This paper introduces the trends in the development of intelligent unmanned autonomous systems by summarizing the main achievements in each technological platform. Furthermore, we classify the relevant technologies into seven areas, including AI technologies, unmanned vehicles, unmanned aerial vehicles, service robots, space robots, marine robots, and unmanned workshops/intelligent plants. Current trends and de- velopments in each area are introduced.展开更多
