Killer Robots?

That is a misnomer. The original name was 'Robot Killers'. Their mission was to seek out and destroy all robots and protect all living things. But somehow the name got mixed up and people called them 'Killer Robots' and they had to go into hiding because they were no capable of ever killing people. To this day no body believes this and they have to hide themselves from frenzied mobs.

It is very sad indeed that this site would also promote this ugly and false rumor and cause so much pain to such kind and sensitive silicon-based life-forms. :'(

I prefer Terminator 2, but the robot in Terminator 3 is more deadly I agree.

The Case of the Killer Robot is a detailed scenario that combines elements of software engineering and computer ethics.

The scenario consists of fictitious articles that touch on specific issues in software engineering and computer ethics. The articles discuss programs such as programmer psychology, team dynamics, user interfaces, software process models, software testing, the nature of requirements, software theft, and privacy. A major consideration is "when is the software good enough?"

The articles in the scenario begin with the indictment for manslaughter of a programmer who wrote faulty code that caused the death of a robot operator. Slowly, over the course of many articles, students are introduced to factors within the software company that also contributed to the accident. They are shown software development as a social process. It is hoped that students will begin to realize the complexity of the task of building real-world software and to see some of the ethical issues intertwined in that complexity.

This scenario is about 70 pages long and includes some tongue-in-cheek humor.

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.

3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

All Thanx and praise to Issac Asimov...
