Self-driving cars. Robots tending the homebound. Autonomous weapons. These are just a few examples of current and future systems that feature independence from human intervention. But how much autonomy is acceptable? And does autonomy dilute the foundational principle of a responsible agent? Join the conversation on 2 October (12-1PM Eastern, GMT -4) as IEEE TechEthics delves into important issues raised by an increasingly autonomous world.
