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 B
A questão pede para identificar quem é o responsável pela ética, exclusivamente com base na frase fornecida. É crucial focar apenas nas palavras dessa frase, sem adicionar informações externas ou inferências.
- (A) Incorreta: A frase não diz que a responsabilidade é de "Humanos que estão dentro da sociedade", mas sim de um grupo específico de pessoas. Esta alternativa é muito genérica.
- (B) Correta: A frase afirma claramente: "...it is the specific responsibility of the scientists who work in this field to face this new array of social and ethical problems." A alternativa reproduz exatamente o que está no texto.
- (C) Incorreta: A frase menciona "scientists" (cientistas), não especificamente "professors" (professores), e não há menção de que eles estejam "in charge" (no comando). Esta é uma armadilha, pois "professores" são frequentemente associados a campos científicos, mas o texto usa um termo mais abrangente e não especifica o papel de "estar no comando".
- (D) Incorreta: A frase fala sobre "social and ethical problems" (problemas sociais e éticos), mas atribui a responsabilidade a "scientists who work in this field" (cientistas que trabalham neste campo), não a "Those who are among the social field" (Aqueles que estão entre o campo social).
- (E) Incorreta: A frase não restringe a responsabilidade a "People who oversee the production of robots" (Pessoas que supervisionam a produção de robôs). Ela se refere aos "scientists who work in this field" de forma mais ampla, lidando com os problemas sociais e éticos que surgem.
