ABSTRACT
The amount of control that an intelligent system has over their actions, whether they are able to act independently from their creator, plays a major factor in describing systems and in distinguishing them from each other. Different levels of autonomy reflect the different abilities of the machines as well as where and how they can play a part in our daily lives. We may begin to comprehend these abilities and possible applications into human society once we can classify the levels of autonomy. The goal of this project is to set a framework for establishing a standard of autonomy in the scientific community by examining past and current methods of measurement as well as exploring different levels of autonomy's ethics and implications. Once this framework is made available to the scientific community, more tests and experiments will be conducted to refine and further ingrain the framework so that classifications of artificial intelligent agents are available universally. If we are to continue improving upon our machines, developing them to be more adept at communicating and accomplishing tasks, then a set of standards must be established for the safety and convenience of mankind.

Recommendations
Autonomy: life and being
KSEM'10: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Knowledge science, engineering and managementThis paper uses robot experience to explore key concepts of autonomy, life and being. Unfortunately, there are no widely accepted definitions of autonomy, life or being. Using a new cognitive agent architecture we argue that autonomy is a key ingredient ...
Towards ethical aspects on artificial intelligence
AIKED'09: Proceedings of the 8th WSEAS international conference on Artificial intelligence, knowledge engineering and data basesThis paper presents the role of ethics in developing artificial intelligence, and how the artificial intelligence could change our perspective, because artificial intelligence in fact is all around us. Artificial intelligence is an important part of our ...
The Future of Artificially Intelligent Assistants
KDD '17: Proceedings of the 23rd ACM SIGKDD International Conference on Knowledge Discovery and Data MiningArtificial Intelligence has been present in literature at least since the ancient Greeks. Depictions present a wide range of perspectives of AI ranging from malefic overlords to depressive androids. Perhaps the most common recurring theme is the AI ...
