That being said, things always get hairy when we try to establish “universal” morals. I imagine some countries and cultures may use AI in ways others would consider immoral for ends that are highly valued and/or transformative for their nation. For example, some societies are much less sensitive to government and AI surveillance, with the knowledge that the information they gather could address public health crises or prevent different kinds of safety and privacy violations. In America, we tend to balk at that kind of invasion.
And again, while I think some baselines are great, I doubt a universal code would be particularly effective. The Geneva Convention *should* be pretty universal but… we’ve seen how well states have kept to those standards. It would be great to at least pretend to be on the same page, but I wouldn’t rely on a universal code to protect us from rights infringements by AI. Read Less

Concepts like “fairness” and “equity” can have different meanings across cultures. Instead of having many people comply with the codes based on the cultural and legal contexts of some, it would be more beneficial for different places to develop codes and accept some level of review from their fellow nations to establish a basis of trust and judgment. However, I acknowledge that even doing things like this, the criteria for whether or not a code of ethics would be accepted would be biased not only by the cultural and legal context, but also by political factors between countries. The codes would be less about enforcement between nations and more about having grounds on which to trust or distrust the nations.Read Less

Establishing guidelines like transparency in research and ethical use terms is important in all scientific fields. Most fields contain boards that ensure research is ethical, for example, the APA. Why should A.I. be any different?Read Less

Even extremely basic ethical dilemmas like “is it (ever) ok to steal” have an extremely high degree of nuance between different ethical schools of thought.
It may take hundreds more years for us to have any semblance of a universal code of ethics for robotics. This is made even more challenging by the fact that robotics and AI are evolving and innovating at an extremely rapid pace, meaning that the goalposts for technological ethics are constantly shifting.

This sounds like a good idea but I do not know enough about this topic to have an educated opinion.
I think it should be implemented as long as it doesnt evolve into government overreach.
