Description

ABSTRACT Bill Joy is among the most distinguished software engineers in the United States and is one of the founders of Sun Microsystems. He caused a considerable stir several years ago when he argued that certain types of scientific research should not be performed because of the enormous risk to humanity. His presentation sparked considerable interest and a great volume of critical, sometimes outraged, literature. However, so far as I am able to discover, no one has sought to work his arguments out in detail and analyze them. I propose to do so here. Whether or not Joy's arguments convince, they raise important and intriguing issues.
