How to Tackle Ethical Issues Involving Social Robots
۳ձϩϘοτͷྙཧతʹͲͷΑ͏ʹऔΓΉ͖͔
This academic paper examines how normative ethical theories (such as deontological ethics, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics) apply to artificial moral agents and social robots. It explores the challenges of implementing moral judgment in autonomous systems, noting that social robots require agent-centered normative ethics and appropriate human-robot interaction capabilities. The author discusses the limitations of traditional rule-based frameworks and highlights the necessity of developing appropriate moral agent characteristics for social robots.

What the document contains
The paper covers the application of normative ethical theories—specifically deontological ethics, consequentialism, and virtue ethics—to artificial moral agents and social robots, examining how autonomous systems can make moral decisions and handle ethical dilemmas.
It does not provide specific legal regulations, enforceable governance codes, or compliance frameworks for industry deployment.
- Social robots that interact closely with humans face unavoidable ethical dilemmas and normative decision-making challenges.
- Traditional ethical frameworks like deontological ethics (deontology) and consequentialism serve as foundational perspectives for Artificial Moral Agents (AMAs).
- Virtue ethics introduces an agent-centered perspective that highlights limitations in purely rule-based or consequence-based moral implementations.
- Designing ethically sound social robots requires not only moral judgment capabilities but also appropriate interaction cues, transparency, and emotional expression.
