Position paper State lawEastern Asia · JPadopted

This academic article analyzes how robots and artificial intelligence are represented in literature, science fiction, and mythology, tracing the etymology of terms such as mechanism, android, automaton, and robota. The author argues that fictional representations of robots inherently carry tragic or burdensome ethical roles that inevitably lead to misfortune for humanity. Consequently, the paper asserts that to build practical and realistic robotics ethics, researchers must intentionally ignore fictional tropes, such as Asimov's three laws of robotics, and reexamine the relationship between humans and artificial agents.

What the document contains

What's covered

The article examines the etymological origins of terms related to robots, androids, and automata, and critiques how science fiction and literary representations shape modern robotics ethics and philosophical discussions.

What's missing

The document does not provide technical specifications, regulatory frameworks, legal enforcement mechanisms, or practical guidelines for AI deployment.

Key takeaways

Robots and AI ethics discussions often unconsciously rely on images and representations derived from literature and science fiction.
The etymological origins and mythological roles of terms like automaton and android reveal an inherent association with tragic roles and misfortune for humans.
Fictional representations impose a burden of misfortune onto both artificial agents and humanity from their inception.
To establish practical and realistic robotics ethics, researchers must intentionally ignore fictional representations and rules like Asimov's laws of robotics.
Reevaluating the relationship between humans and robots requires separating practical engineering realities from literary and cultural tropes.

Principles it states

Realistic robotics ethics must be detached from fictional representations and literary tropes.The fundamental social structures and ethical considerations regarding autonomous agents must account for their actual technological status rather than fictional burdens.
