Does this apply to Sarah Connor?


In South Korea there is a proposal to create a code of ethics for human interaction with robots. I'm not sure how serious this is given that one of the "experts" on the panel is a sci-fi writer. Isn't that like having the writers of Indiana Jones on a panel that's writing a code of ethics for archaeologists?
