We are increasingly seeing computer systems which are expected to
function without operator intervention. This is perhaps acceptable
for running computer networks or traffic lights; however, we are
now seeing computer systems deployed to qualitatively influence
human judgments such as rulings on legal disputes or fitness for
work to evaluate disability benefits. In keeping with the
precautionary principle, it is important that those who are
developing this capability - technologists and scientists - think
through its potential implications. The aim of this book is to
explore the technological and social and implications of computers
and robots becoming increasingly 'aware' of their environment and
the people in it, and their being increasingly 'self-aware' of
their own existence within it. The wide-ranging scope of the text
covers three different angles of the concept of 'the computer after
me': (1) the next generation of computationally powerful aware
systems; (2) systems in which the computer is aware of
qualitatively impact human concerns such as law, health and rules;
and (3) computers and robots which are aware of themselves.
