On robots

Today I only have questions. And they are in a very different field but in the end they might be of tremendous importance for matters of peace and human rights. And these are the two most important dimensions in any human life.

But let's list the questions. They concern robots.

Can we teach robots ethics and international law? Do we need to?

Is there a real threat that robots could go beyond the actions they have been programmed for? What should be the limits when designing and programming an extremely smart robot?

Maybe it is time to start looking at these interrogations.

Let´s say No to the atomic weaponry

Seventy years later, one can only hope that our political masters will be wise enough to not make use ever again on any type of atomic weapon. More. We should advocate for a ban of such armaments. That would be the ultimate test of wisdom and of a changing world.
