So with the ever advancing technology comes the question of morales and ethics, because after all just because you can do something does not mean you should, right?

A friend of mine who is in the same field as me (AI & Robotics) was a key speaker at an AI Ethics presentation and her main focus of the discussion was the relativity of time and a machine, because lets say you have a machine that processes information 100 times faster than a human being so an hour of time to us feels 100 times slower for that machine, it is intelligent and self aware, capable of independent thought, now lets say it commits a crime and due to the law it must go to prison, now do you put it in prison for 100 longer than you would put a human in for the same crime? Or do you give it a normal sentence?

Personally I believe that the machine should serve the same amount of time as a normal human would because people naturally perceive time differently, personally I feel like time goes pretty quick all the time but then I am more active than my peers because they feel like life is dragging on, again time is relative because I'm too busy to notice time passing.

I think it is a fascinating question about how time is relative, anyone else got any opinions on this?

Machines like that should be put down. They need to chill out with the technology before it becomes like Irobot with Will Smith.

Eh honestly the whole iRobot thing is actually extremely unlikely to be honest, too many fail safes would be put in place not to mention the level of independent systems.

I figure in this scenario they would just be dismantled and discarded.

I think the period of time they should be in for should be on the same level of punishment. Whether that means the time they are kept in there changes or not, I'm not sure.

I think machines this smart will find loop holes around the fail safes. Just like in iRobot, with Will Smith.

It makes me wonder if we, knowing the risks of AI, are just going to make them anyway and deal with the consequences, or if we will draw the line at some point in creating AI. If we do draw the line, how far do you reckon it will go before media/public really start to be concerned with malfunctions/uprising/ethical issues etc?

I got into a bunch of anime shows recently that deal with issues surrounding robots in the household and how humans responded and lived beside them. It was really interesting stuff, but possibly about concerns that have been around since we first started playing with AI.

The risks are majorly over exaggerated within the media, regardless of what people think, if you tell a machine not to do something and you hardcode it into it, it will not do it, just like a human cannot hold their breath to the point they die, it's hardwired into the part of the brain that can't be accessed and you could easily do the same with a robot.

IRobot, with Will Smith, is the only movie that I know with these kinds of AI.

Stephen hawking rambles on about the dangers of AI (his field is physics so yeah, while he is intelligent not really his domain so to speak)

Then you have got Ex Machina, That one with Johnny Depp (can't remember what it's called but it's recent) you've also got Hal and of course most recently you have got Halo 5 which has always featured bat shit insane AI.
