Is AI the New Frankenstein? (The Ethics of Creation)

[What can a 200-year-old gothic monster teach modern AI developers and geneticists? As it turns out, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein isn't just a horror story—it’s a masterclass in modern bioethics. In this video, we strip away the Hollywood myths and examine Victor Frankenstein’s story as a profound "manual for ethical creation." We use a dual-lens approach to explore why the questions raised two centuries ago are the exact same ones keeping today’s top scientists awake at night. Lens 1: The Creator as a Parent. Why Victor failed the basic duties of "parental bioethics" and how isolation, not nature, created the monster. Lens 2: The Pariah of Science. How the "Feared Self" of Victor Frankenstein shapes the ethical norms of today's AI and robotics researchers. The Manual for Ethical Creation: Four mandatory rules for anyone bringing new life (or code) into the world.
