This article investigates both the claims made for, and the dangers or opportunities posed by, the development of (allegedly), aspiring or "would-be" autonomous vehicles and other artificially superintelligent machines. It also examines the dilemmas ...
Over the coming century, the accelerating advance of bioenhancement technologies, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) may significantly broaden the qualitative range of sentient and intelligent beings. This article proposes a taxonomy of such ...
Can robots have significant moral status? This is an emerging topic of debate among roboticists and ethicists. This paper makes three contributions to this debate. First, it presents a theory-'ethical behaviourism'-which holds that robots can have si...
The use of artificial intelligence and robotics in health care means ethical principles need to be established. Artificial and human intelligence must be implemented in such as way as to complement each other. From humanism to anthropotechnics, the d...

The suggestion has been made that future advanced artificial intelligence (AI) that passes some consciousness-related criteria should be treated as having moral status, and therefore, humans would have an ethical obligation to consider its well-being...
Hardly any other field of application of artificial intelligence (AI) needs more ethics by design than medicine; however, if a deep integration of ethical principles succeeds there is a chance of "deep healing", for each individual and also for medic...
I discuss an influential argument put forward by Hatherley in the Drawing on influential philosophical accounts of interpersonal trust, Hatherley claims that medical artificial intelligence is capable of being reliable, but not trustworthy. Furtherm...
