A hypothetical question was raised during a forum on robot morality "can a machine be programmed to act or decide morally, as much as humans?"
In a recent paper published in the International Journal of Reasoning-based Intelligent Systems, the authors Luís Moniz Pereira of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, in Portugal and Ari Saptawijaya of the Universitas Indonesia, described a method for computers to calculate the future consequences of hypothetical moral judgments.
The paper, Modelling Morality with Prospective Logic, made particular mention "that morality is no longer the exclusive realm of human philosophers".
They've proven their findings by creating models of moral dilemmas inherent in a specific problem called "the trolley problem" and in creating a computer system that delivers moral judgments that conform to human results.
They have cited scenarios that build their theories around the "trolley problem".
And based of these typical scenarios where moral judgments are drawn, the authors claimed that they have been successful in modeling these difficult moral problems in computer logic by resolving the "hidden rules" that people use in making moral judgments and then modeling them for the computer using prospective logic programs.

Robot making moral decision?Wow thats something new and exciting.I have never heard it before.Robots are getting more and more advance day by day.
ya it is really amazing thinking. create the robo is not simple . nice article
hi…

hi,
Its a good article.ROBOT making moral decision means we don have any work,our life becomes more easy.technology can do it.
I think it is quite possible for robots to make moral decisions if relevant knowledge is given.
Hello There,
I ask my self looking at the daily news feeds from around the world if human beings can make moral decisions? We are the pinacle of evolution and look at the mess the world is in. What is a moral decision?? What is defined by the word GOOD??? Does evil as a concept exist???
I build robots that are now quite simple but the hope is to build more complex ones in the near future. I personally believe that as creators of these marvels we pass on what we are to them. As such, like children they will tend to do and act as we do. If we are good and treat them well they will be also. However if we ignore them and build them as just tools we will reap what we sow.
The short answer to that long question is ,definitely they will be able to make moral decisions!!
Take Care,
