| 0:00.0 | Now we're joined right now with Dr. Noel Sharkey. We were concerned that we might not be able to get him. |
| 0:05.3 | He is traveling the globe, trying to wake people up to the dangers and the abuses of robotics technology. |
| 0:13.0 | He's actually a professor of artificial intelligence and robotics. |
| 0:17.0 | And he has now, after he had kind of an epiphany, we're going to let him tell you about it, I won't try to describe it. His core research interest is now in the ethical applications of robotics and artificial intelligence. Dr. Sharkey, can you hear me? I can hear you very clearly, David. Great, great. So you found Wi-Fi in that monastery? Yes, I did. That's great. That's great. Tell us a little bit about your epiphany. |
| 0:42.4 | When you went from, you were working in robotics, you were very much interested in the technology of it. |
| 0:47.8 | But like so many of us who work in engineering or technology, you didn't realize exactly some of the dark ways it was being used. |
| 0:55.9 | No, I didn't. I had my head in a bag kind of thing, just getting on with my research. |
| 1:01.6 | And I was at a press conference in London about a government report on talking about robots, |
| 1:10.6 | supporting about housing benefits for robots of the future. |
| 1:13.3 | It was kind of a nutty report, and it was the first report our government had put out about robotics. |
| 1:18.3 | And at the press conference, some journalist said to me, |
| 1:21.8 | well, can you tell us a little bit about military robots? |
| 1:25.3 | And of course, I knew nothing about it. |
| 1:27.4 | Apart from a little bit about bomb disposal, because I'm from Northern Ireland, and we |
| 1:31.9 | know about bomb disposal. |
| 1:34.2 | So I thought I'd go off for the evening and just have a quick look at the internet, |
| 1:38.1 | you know, an hour or so, sort of get answered questions. |
| 1:41.6 | Seven months later, I finished that little look at the internet, |
| 1:45.5 | having read, you know, through all the US plans from 2001 right up to the present at the time, |
| 1:51.9 | which was five years, six years of plans for all the US forces, the roadmaps. And they were all |
| 1:57.8 | talking about the application of autonomous robots. |
| 2:02.0 | And for killing people, and I just thought, this is ridiculous. |
