商品描述

Robots today serve in many roles, from entertainer to educator to executioner. As robotics technology advances, ethical concerns become more pressing: Should robots be programmed to follow a code of ethics, if this is even possible? Are there risks in forming emotional bonds with robots? How might society -- and ethics -- change with robotics? This volume is the first book to bring together prominent scholars and experts from both science and the humanities to explore these and other questions in this emerging field.

Starting with an overview of the issues and relevant ethical theories, the topics flow naturally from the possibility of programming robot ethics to the ethical use of military robots in war to legal and policy questions, including liability and privacy concerns. The contributors then turn to human-robot emotional relationships, examining the ethical implications of robots as sexual partners, caregivers, and servants. Finally, they explore the possibility that robots, whether biological-computational hybrids or pure machines, should be given rights or moral consideration.

Ethics is often slow to catch up with technological developments. This authoritative and accessible volume fills a gap in both scholarly literature and policy discussion, offering an impressive collection of expert analyses of the most crucial topics in this increasingly important field.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

現今,機器人在許多角色中扮演著各種角色,從娛樂者到教育者,甚至到執行者。隨著機器人技術的進步,倫理問題變得更加迫切:機器人應該被程式設計遵守倫理規範嗎?與機器人建立情感聯繫是否存在風險?機器人將如何改變社會和倫理觀念?這本書是第一本匯集科學和人文領域的知名學者和專家,探討這個新興領域中的這些問題和其他問題的書籍。

從機器人倫理編程的可能性到戰爭中軍事機器人的倫理使用,再到法律和政策問題,包括責任和隱私問題,本書首先概述了這些問題和相關的倫理理論,然後自然地流轉到人與機器人的情感關係,探討機器人作為性伴侶、照顧者和僕人的倫理影響。最後,他們探討了機器人(無論是生物計算混合體還是純粹的機器)是否應該被賦予權利或道德考慮。

倫理學常常無法跟上技術發展的步伐。這本權威且易於理解的書籍填補了學術文獻和政策討論的空白,提供了專家對這個日益重要領域中最關鍵主題的精彩分析。
