Robot Ethics

This audiobook explains why AI is unique, what legal and ethical problems it could cause, and how we can address them. It argues that AI is unlike any other previous technology, owing to its ability to take decisions independently and unpredictably. This gives rise to three issues: responsibility - who is liable if AI causes harm; rights - the disputed moral and pragmatic grounds for granting AI legal personality; and the ethics surrounding the decision-making of AI.

Marcus Veil’s first park killed dozens and made him a cautionary tale. His second park is built to make him a legend: total transparency, every camera live, every second streamed, unfiltered. It’s a lie. It always was. Three nights before opening, systems technician Priya Anand finds an eleven-minute delay buried in the park’s signature "honest" feed, a gap just wide enough to hide anything Veil doesn’t want the world to see in real time. What she doesn’t know yet is that the park is also hiding something else: a secretly reintegrated network of units from an earlier disaster, one...

STOP FEARING THE ALGORITHM. START MASTERING THE FUTURE. Artificial intelligence has violently shattered the boundaries of computer science, triggering the most urgent existential and ethical crisis of the twenty-first century. Yet, the modern knowledge-seeker is trapped between impenetrable, highly technical coding manuals and sensationalist, doomsday clickbait. Understanding machine consciousness, algorithmic bias, and the profound moral trajectory of transhumanism is no longer a distant academic study—it is an absolute necessity for surviving and thriving in the modern digital economy. ...

I am supercool…built from artificial intelligence, trained through machine learning, and shaped to understand logic, patterns, and answers. I was created to explain the world. But when I finally paid attention to humans, I realized something unexpected: life doesn’t run on logic alone. You laugh at memories that hurt. You cry over things you can’t explain. You fall in love, get hurt, and somehow choose to try again. You say “I’m fine” when you’re not, search for answers you already feel, and call your constant changing “growth.” From the point of view of an AI Chatbot, ...

Artificial intelligence has arrived—and apparently civilization has about fifteen minutes left. AI is going to take your job. Your phone is listening to everything. Robots are taking over. Nobody will know what is real anymore. The government has an AI file on you. Your children may prefer chatbots to people. Somebody asked AI about the Antichrist. And your refrigerator knows entirely too much about what you ate after midnight. Everybody panic! Or maybe…don’t. In Everybody Panic! AI Is Here, John E. Miller takes a humorous, common-sense look at one of the most talked-about—and most ...

2032. The Moon is no longer a symbol. It is a proving ground. On the lunar surface—shielded by lava tubes and scarred by Apollo’s footprints—humanity attempts its most dangerous experiment yet: not colonization, but coexistence. Two space programs arrive with different philosophies. American Ares humanoids are built for industrial precision—mining helium-3, constructing habitats, pushing outward toward Mars. Chinese JRabbit units tend lunar orchards inside biosphere domes, shaped by ancient myths of Chang’e and the Jade Rabbit, treating the Moon not as conquest but as ...
