Ethics-of-robot-regulation

The Vestigial Heart is a very interesting book that discusses the role of robots in order to reestablish emotions in people. It is set in a futuristic world where all the people cannot live without their robots and everything needs the robotics help, in this world, people lost their feelings and emotions. The character on which my paper focuses is Silvana, a woman in love with the past that read a lot of books from that period. The breakdown of the book is the decryogenization of Celia, a girl of the 21st century that becomes the only person who has feelings, indeed is used by Silvana to understand the past century with some clinical sessions, and is also used by Leo, a bioengineer that is building a prosthesis for emotions. So these two characters are trying to ripristinate human emotions from two different points of view, during the book they interact together and discuss mixing up their idea until Silvana understand that robot is the only last chance to retrieve emotions. This paper discusses Silvana’s point of view on the available technology, its limits in its use, the essential information to understand it, and my personal opinion about the role of education and what knowledge is necessary to refuse to adopt a particular technology. My ideas are very similar to the ones of Silvana since I think AIs should be regulated and not overused and above all to understand and predict the consequence of using AI.
