Answer:

The potential advantages explored in the text, regarding equipping machines with a sense of morality are that they can be an asset to humans by being able to complete tasks and make wise, split-second life and death decisions; such as, when not to clear buildings with civilians in them during war situations. Paragraph 8 states that Ronald Arkin, a computer science professor and robotics expert at Georgia Tech, has been developing software, referred to as an “ethical governor”, which would make machines capable of deciding when it’s appropriate to fire and when it’s not.  Another advantage, as stated in Paragraph 9, is that machines will not be vulnerable to the emotional trauma of combat or to the desire for revenge. It will be free of emotions and emotional ties to other individuals and/or machines.

       The potential disadvantages explored in the text, regarding equipping machines with a sense of morality are that they could be a serious threat to human safety; especially since their moral compass will be based on that of a human’s.  That, within itself, leaves a lot to be desired.  In Paragraph 19, it states that human ethics are a work-in-progress, and we still confront situations for which we don’t have well-developed codes. The text also mentioned in Paragraph 9 that machines could evolve and get rid of us.

How did the producers of the radio version of The War of the Worlds warn the audience that the broadcast wasn't real?
DerKrebs [107]
<span>C. By adding a disclaimer at the beginning of the show</span>


Because the topic of alien invasion was a hot topic around the time _War of the Worlds_ came out, it was very possible and very plausible that those listening to the radio program would, in fact, believe what they were listening to were real-life events and not a science-fiction piece.  As such, at the beginning of the radio program, there was a disclaimer that preceded the show that informed listeners that what they were about to hear was not real.  However, those who happened to tune in late and happened to miss the disclaimer, and many believed that what they were listening to was actually happening.
