今天的机器人扮演着许多角色，从表演者到教育者再到刽子手。随着机器人技术的进步，伦理问题变得更加紧迫：如果有可能的话，机器人应该被编程为遵守道德准则吗？与机器人建立情感纽带有风险吗？随着机器人技术的发展，社会--以及道德--会发生怎样的变化？这本书是第一本汇集了来自科学和人文领域的杰出学者和专家的书，以探索这一新兴领域的这些和其他问题。从概述问题和相关的伦理理论开始，话题自然从编程机器人伦理的可能性到在战争中合乎道德地使用军事机器人，再到法律和政策问题，包括责任和隐私问题。然后，撰稿人转向人与机器人的情感关系，研究机器人作为性伴侣、照顾者和仆人的伦理含义。最后，他们探讨了机器人，无论是生物计算混合体还是纯粹的机器，都应该被赋予权利或道德考虑的可能性。道德通常跟不上技术发展的步伐。这本权威的和可访问的卷填补了学术文献和政策讨论的空白，提供了这一日益重要的领域中最关键的主题的令人印象深刻的专家分析集合。
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.
