Robots and the Limits of Morality
In this chapter, I ask whether we can coherently conceive of robots as moral agents and as moral patients. I answer both questions negatively but conditionally: for as long as robots lack certain features, they can be neither moral agents nor moral patients. These answers, of course, are not new. They have, yet, recently been the object of sustained critical attention (Coeckelbergh 2014; Gunkel...
متن کاملTo delegate or not to delegate: Care robots, moral agency and moral responsibility
The use of robots in healthcare is on the rise, from robots to assist with lifting, bathing and feeding, to robots used for social companionship. Given that the tradition and professionalization of medicine and nursing has been grounded on the fact that care providers can assume moral responsibility for the outcome of medical interventions, we must ask whether or not a robot can assume moral re...
متن کاملThe Functional Morality of Robots
It is often argued that a robot cannot be held morally responsible for its actions. The author suggests that one should use the same criteria for robots as for humans, regarding the ascription of moral responsibility.

After considering three proposals for requirements of “moral agency” I propose instead to examine moral competence as a broader set of capacities. I posit that human moral competence consists of five com...
متن کامل“Think and Do the Right Thing” – A Plea for Morally Competent Autonomous Robots
Autonomous robots are increasingly employed in human societies without any provisions for “moral behavior” (other than some implicit architectural protective measures such as to avoid collisions or to follow human orders). However, being part of human societies, these robots will inevitably face morally charged situations, if not moral dilemmas where no simple solution exist, and thus need to b...
متن کامل: When Is a Robot a Moral Agent ?
In this paper I argue that in certain circumstances robots can be seen as real moral agents. A distinction is made between persons and moral agents such that, it is not necessary for a robot to have personhood in order to be a moral agent. I detail three requirements for a robot to be seen as a moral agent. The first is achieved when the robot is significantly autonomous from any programmers or...
