Robots and Education Labor
Rossum’s Universal Robots (1920)
Sidney Pressey’s teaching machine (patented 1928)
B F Skinner’s teaching machine (~1950s)
“The human brain must be made to conform to
the much more advanced brain of the machine.
And education will no longer be an unpredictable
and exciting adventure in human enlightenment
but an exercise in conformity and an
apprenticeship to whatever gadgetry is useful in a
technical world.”
— Jacques Ellul
From Isaac Asimov, the “Three Laws of Robotics”:
!
1: A robot may not injure a human being, or through
inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
!
2: A robot must obey the orders given to it by human beings,
except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
!
3: A robot must protect its own existence as long as such
protection does not conflict with the First and Second Laws.
!
0: A robot may not harm humanity, or by inaction, allow
humanity to come to harm.
