Robots are said to be the future. They are also said to be the next big thing. However, in the article "Can Robots Make Ethical Decisions?" it seems like without overcoming one problem the future will not be like the way it is said to be. You see, if robots can't make the right ethical decisions, what will be the point of having them around? This is a question that is asked in many movies and asked by many modern philosophers.
The point is that people are making robots to do things for them. However, the robots will only do what they are programed to do. They really are not smart at all because they can not make decisions of its own. Since, making ethical decisions is all based on making the right decisions of your own, than robots will not be able to cooperate and perhaps save lives. If robots can't do that than we might have a huge problem. Personally, I think that robots should only be programmed for war and life saving operations. War for the loss of human casualties and life saving operations because the robots should only have to follow one command:
save anyone that you can find.
Robots are cool and all. But are they really that great? If you ask me "I think that if humans are smart enough to invent robots, shouldn't they be smart enough to invent the answers to most problems?"

Yet, there are always people who will misuse power and then blame the robot or the computer.
