Techno-ethics This takes us into the area of techno-ethics – Reflection on the ethical responsibilities of those who are involved in technological R D (including the technologies of artificial agents (AI, robotics, MC, etc.)) Broadly, techno-ethics can be defined as: Reflection on how we, as developers and users of technologies, …ought to use such technologies to best meet our existing ethical ends, within existing ethical frameworks Much of the ethics of artificial agent research comes under the general techno-ethics umbrella From techno-ethics toartificial ethics What’s special about the artificial agent research is that the artificial agents so produced may count (in various senses) as ethical agents in their own right This may involve a revision of our existing ethical conceptions in various ways Particularly when we are engaged in research in (progressively deeper) artificial consciousness Bearing this in mind, we need to distinguish between techno-ethics and artificial ethics (The latter may overlap with the former) Techno-ethics – our responsibility for our creations Artificial ethics – what ethics we will put to future robots ARTIFICIAL ETHICS Towards artificial ethics (AE) A key puzzle in AE Perhaps ethical reality (or real ethical status) goes together with psychological reality?? Can a robot be ethical if he is not psychologically similar to you? Shallow and deep AE Shallow AE – Developing ways in which the artificial agents we produce can conform to, simulate, the ethical constraints we believe desirable (Perhaps a sub-field of techno-ethics?) Deep AE – Creating beings with inherent ethical status? Rights of robots, rights of human “owners” of robots? Responsibilities of robots, responsibilities of humans towards robots? The boundaries between shallow and deep AE may be perceived as fuzzy And may be intrinsically fuzzy… You do not want your robot to hurt humans (or other robots?)
