Name of Article: Robot Ethics

Brief description: The article is short in comparison to other articles with a similar topic. Lacking statements with primary sources of validation. Lacking overall detail in the history of robot ethics.

There is a lack of substantial factual statements made in the article. Words like "around" and "probably" are found in the article to suggest the date that an event may have occurred or who might have been involved in the event, respectively.

The article is neutral. There is no sense of bias or favoritism towards a particular idea or person.

Viewpoints are definitely underrepresented. There is absolutely no viewpoint of roboethics besides the author's.

All the links to the cited sources worked.

One particular problem I noticed with the article was that the author posted a link to an article, "Ethics of artificial intelligence", that divides the ethics of technology into two parts: roboethics as "a concern with the moral behavior of humans as they design, construct, use and treat artificially intelligent beings", and machine ethics as a concern with the moral behavior of artificial moral agents (AMAs)". His article deals with the former, but he references Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, a book with rules that lean very much so on machine ethics than it does roboethics.

Regarding the editing of the Robot ethics article, I edited the parts about Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics, then also expanded on the First International Symposium on Roboethics that occurred in 2004. I specifically added the three ethical positions that were outlined by anthropologist Daniela Cerqui. My source was http://www.roboethics.org/icra2005/veruggio.pdf
