A Discussion on Machine Ethics and Artificial Intelligence Safety}, booktitle = {Scientific Methods in Academic Research and Teaching International Conference}, year = {2017}, pages = {184-197}, abstract = {Nowadays, there is a serious anxiety on the existence of dangerous intelligent systems and it is not just a science-fiction idea of evil machines like the ones in well-known Terminator movie or any other movies including intelligent robots - machines threatening the existence of humankind. So, there is a great interest in some alternative research works under the topics of Machine Ethics, and Existential Risks. The objective of this study is to provide a general discussion about the expressed research topics and try to find some answers to the question of {\textquoteright}Are we safe enough in the future of Artificial Intelligence?{\textquoteright}. In detail, the discussion includes a comprehensive focus on {\textquoteright}dystopic{\textquoteright} scenarios, enables interested researchers to think about some {\textquoteright}moral dilemmas{\textquoteright} and family have some ethical outputs that are considerable for developing good intelligent systems. From a general perspective, the discussion taken here is a good opportunity to improve awareness on the mentioned, remarkable research topics associated with not only Artificial Intelligence but also many other natural and social sciences taking role in the humankind}, keywords = {artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence safety, future of artificial intelligence, machine ethics, machine learning}, author = {Utku K{\"o}se} }
