Summary: Robots and autonomous systems will bring major innovations to society. Recently, the public has become increasingly concerned about the social problems that may occur, as well as the huge potential benefits that may arise.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has evolved from a science fiction realm of exploration to a booming technological field where the impossible is becoming possible. To ensure that the future of artificial intelligence development remains ethical and socially conscious, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has announced three new ethical standards for artificial intelligence.

IEEE calls itself "the world's largest technical professional organization for the advancement of technology." According to a recent press release, their AI standards will prioritize humans as they commit to keeping up with the growing field.

The new standards will be part of an IEEE document titled "Ethically Consistent Design: A Vision for Prioritizing Human Well-Being with Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Systems." This document will continue to evolve with the changing times, encouraging those promoting technological advancement to consider how such advancements may affect ethical concerns.

is the president of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society, and he explained why they developed such a standard at the launch: "Robots and autonomous systems will bring major innovations to society. Recently, the public has become increasingly concerned about the social problems that may occur, and the huge potential benefits that may arise. Unfortunately, in these discussions, some misinformation from fiction and imagination may appear."

It continued: "IEEE will introduce knowledge and wisdom based on accepted facts of science and technology to help reach public decisions that maximize the overall benefit of mankind." The three major artificial intelligence standards will be introduced as a separate project, each led by experts.

Implementation of these standards may come sooner than we think, as companies like Google and Google are advancing the development of artificial intelligence faster and faster, even creating artificial intelligence systems that can learn on their own and expand the scope of "intelligence". Experts believe that such artificial intelligence will destabilize the world, lead to mass unemployment and war, and even turn to the creation of "killer weapons." Important recent discussions at the United Nations have prompted serious consideration of the need for stricter regulation of the use of artificial intelligence technology as weapons.

These three standards projects are expected to regulate the development of artificial intelligence rather than hinder progress, but society as we know it is not destroyed by what we work hard to create.
