Robot Code of Ethics to Prevent Android Abuse and Protect
Humans.
The government of South Korea is drawing up a code of ethics to
prevent human abuse of robots—and vice versa.The so-called Robot Ethics Charter will cover standards for robotics users and manufacturers, as well as guidelines on ethical standards to be programmed into robots, South Korea's Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy announced last week.
"The move anticipates the day when robots, particularly intelligent service robots, could become a part of daily life as greater technological advancements are made", the ministry said in a statement.
A five-member task force that includes futurists and a science-fiction writer began work on the charter last November.
Gianmarco Veruggio of the School of Robotics in Genoa, Italy, is recognized as a leading authority on roboethics. "Robotics is a new science with a manifold of applications that can assist humans and solve many, many problems", he said.
"However, as in every field of science and technology, sensitive areas open up, and it is the specific responsibility of the scientists who work in this field to face this new array of social and ethical problems*."*
Abusing Robots
South Korea boasts one of the world's most high-tech societies. The country's Ministry of Information and Communication is working on plans to put a robot in every South Korean household by 2020.
The new charter is part of an effort to establish ground rules for human interaction with robots in the future. "Imagine if some people treat androids as if the machines were their wives", Park Hye-Young of the ministry's robot team told the AFP news agency.

Resposta comentada
Gabarito Alternativa D
Marcadores discursivos são palavras ou frases que conectam ideias em um texto, mostrando a relação lógica entre elas. Eles ajudam a organizar o discurso e a guiar o leitor.
- (A) Incorreta: "Such as" não expressa contraste, e "and" não é o único marcador de adição.
- (B) Incorreta: Nenhum dos marcadores indica consequência ou causa neste contexto.
- (C) Incorreta: Embora "such as" seja exemplificação, "and" não expressa tempo.
- (D) Correta: "such as" introduz exemplos de tarefas (complex decision-making, reasoning and learning, etc.), caracterizando exemplificação. "and" conecta os últimos itens de uma lista (speech recognition e language translation), indicando adição de informações.
- (E) Incorreta: Esta alternativa é uma repetição da alternativa B e está incorreta pelos mesmos motivos.
