Medical Ethics Prototype for Artificial Intelligence Ethics

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the most rapidly advancing science affecting almost all human activities but in the future, it could be a significant threat to Humanity. One way to avoid AI turning against humans is to introduce Ethics and Moral rules into AI science. As Medical Ethics is the best example of human ethics, it is proposed it could be a prototype for the development of AI ethics. A first step could be the establishment of a Hippocratic-like oath for AI scientists, complementary to the development of an internationally accepted Code of Ethical Actions and the establishment of Ethical Committees for AI. In an analogous way to Medicine, this proposal could enhance morality beyond biological consciousness into the future machines.
