Ethics in Human-like Robots

Autor Kamil Mamak
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 noi 2024
The idea of creating artificial humans can be found at the beginning of the human culture. Ancient myths contain the stories of artificial humans brought to life by gods. The word robot originates from a play that was about artificial humans made from artificial flesh that aims to serve real humans. With advancements in robotics, the materialization of this idea is more real than ever before. We are witnessing attempts to create humanoid robots that might be deployed in many spheres of our life - policing, healthcare, and even for love and sex.
The book focuses on the ethical issues of human likeness of robots and human tendency to anthropomorphize. It is built on the assumption that design choices are not neutral, and they need to be discussed to align robots with human values. With robots operating in the physical world, they bring ideas and risks that should be addressed before widespread deployment. The book reviews specific issues and provides suggestions and recommendations for improving robots to serve humans better. It draws on literature from Human-Robot Interactions, ethics of AI and robotics, and the philosophy of technology.

Recenzii

"Human-like robots are emerging from science fiction and entering real life. This is fascinating. But what ethical issues are raised by robots designed to look and behave like humans? This great new book by Kamil Mamak tackles this intriguing issue head on. A must-read for anyone interested in human-robot interaction!"

In this forward-thinking and accessible book, Kamil Mamak provides us with the critical insights necessary to respond to and take responsibility for human-like robots.
