Human and Artificial Agents: A Unified Account of Agency

该项目旨在制定哲学和科学的标准，以决定人工代理人是否可以对其行为负责。该项目的重要性在于，人工代理人在当代社会中越来越普遍，但也提出了该项目旨在解决的道德问题。预期成果包括影响人工智能代理（特别是道德代理）的构建方式，并解决谁对此类系统可能造成的伤害负有法律责任或责任的问题。预期的好处是对代理人的全面描述，可以指导人工代理人的发展，并告知我们在社会和法律中与这些代理人打交道。

This project aims to develop philosophical and scientifically informed criteria for deciding whether artificial agents can be responsible for their behaviour. The project’s significance lies in the fact that artificial agents are becoming increasingly prevalent in contemporary society but raise moral problems, which the project aims to address. Expected outcomes include influencing how artificially intelligent agents (especially moral ones) are built, and addressing questions about who is legally liable or responsible for the harms that may be caused by such systems. The anticipated benefit is a comprehensive account of agency that can guide development of artificial agents and inform our dealings with such agents in society and in the law.
