9.5 Social Consquences.
Although, the political and social consquences of computer
vision are somewhat more remote than other computer applications,
the potential for abuse is great that I feel that it is necessary
to try to develope corresponding ethics along with the science and
technology.
During the period of this reseach, 1969 to 1973 inclusive,...
An exceedingly good and exact theory of vision could generate....
The potential benefits of understanding vision
outweigh the potential harm that could be wrought.
As an engineering project, the construction of a killer robot
is safer than research in biological warfare
and definetly not in the same league as the construction of a doomsday
machine or even as the invention of nuclear weapons.
