Robot Code of Ethics to Prevent Android Abuse and Protect Humans.

The government of South Korea is drawing up a code of ethics to prevent human abuse of robots—and vice versa.

The so-called Robot Ethics Charter will cover standards for robotics users and manufacturers, as well as guidelines on ethical standards to be programmed into robots, South Korea's Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy announced last week.

"The move anticipates the day when robots, particularly intelligent service robots, could become a part of daily life as greater technological advancements are made", the ministry said in a statement.

A five-member task force that includes futurists and a sciencefiction writer began work on the charter last November.

Gianmarco Veruggio of the School of Robotics in Genoa, Italy, is recognized as a leading authority on roboethics. "Robotics is a new science with a manifold of applications that can assist humans and solve many, many problems", he said.

"However, as in every field of science and technology, sensitive areas open up, and it is the specific responsibility of the scientists who work in this field to face this new array of social and ethical problems."

Abusing Robots

South Korea boasts one of the world's most high-tech societies. The country's Ministry of Information and Communication is working on plans to put a robot in every South Korean household by 2020.

The new charter is part of an effort to establish ground rules for human interaction with robots in the future. "Imagine if some people treat androids as if the machines were their wives", Park Hye-Young of the ministry's robot team told the AFP news agency.

BSouth Korean government is against robots.

Reading Comprehension: Title Selection

Gabarito: letra A. O título mais adequado resume a ideia central do texto: o governo sul-coreano está elaborando um código de ética para prevenir abusos tanto de humanos contra robôs quanto de robôs contra humanos. A frase "The government of South Korea is drawing up a code of ethics to prevent human abuse of robots—and vice versa" sustenta diretamente a alternativa A.

As demais alternativas distorcem ou não encontram respaldo no texto.

Alternativa A — ✅ Correta ⟵ GABARITO

Reúne os dois elementos centrais: o desenvolvimento de um código de ética e a proteção bilateral (humanos e robôs). Coincide com a manchete e o primeiro parágrafo do texto.

Alternativa B — ❌ Incorreta

O texto não diz que o governo é contra robôs; ao contrário, o governo promove a presença de robôs ("put a robot in every South Korean household by 2020") e busca regulamentar seu uso.

Alternativa C — ❌ Incorreta

Não há menção a inimizade ou amizade entre robôs e humanos. O texto aborda abusos e ética, não relações afetivas ou de conflito.

Alternativa D — ❌ Incorreta

Não há referência a robôs exigindo algo ou sendo demandantes. O foco é a regulamentação preventiva por parte dos humanos.

Alternativa E — ❌ Incorreta

O texto não afirma que humanos não gostam de robôs. Pelo contrário, a tecnologia é vista como assistente ("can assist humans") e há planos de adoção em massa.

Conclusão: Apenas a alternativa A capta fielmente o propósito do texto.
