Ethics are an invention of the human mind, they are relative and therefore really hard to understand. From a pragmatic point of view the best way to understand ethics would be getting deeper into neuroscience and understanding at higher levels what do the chemicals in our brain activating synapses do in order to have effect in this thing called "ethics". Machines are also an invention of the human mind but the difference is that they use circuits, algorithms and other stuff that we can control and understand perfectly. Adding such an "unknown" characteristic to such a "known" thing might sound like something incompatible, but it's actually an important question.<p>I strongly believe that machines are not a suplement, but a complement to the human race. However, I don't ignore that really smart people who I admire such as Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk are warning us about the future of AI.<p>In order to make machines the perfect complement (not suplemenet) we need to grow their capabilities in a smart, sustainable way. I think this article is making us ask a really important question. If this question is answered, it will be a great step towards achieving the perfect human-machine complement.
