Report State lawEastern Asia · JPin force

This academic article examines the relationship between robot/AI ethics and agile governance frameworks, specifically exploring how ethical questions regarding robots and AI intersect with governance structures like Japan's agile governance model and the European Union's Artificial Intelligence Act. The author discusses concepts such as 'unacceptable risk' categories, ethical frameworks for social robotics (particularly pet/companion robots), and reflective equilibrium as a tool for ethical judgment in technology governance. The paper argues that while ethics and governance differ in scope and methods, they share a common goal of fostering better societies and can inform one another.

What the document contains

What's covered

The document explores the intersection of robot/AI ethics and agile governance, analyzing how ethical considerations regarding companion robots and AI systems can be integrated into dynamic regulatory and governance frameworks such as the EU AI Act.

What's missing

The paper does not provide binding legal regulations or enforcement mechanisms, functioning instead as academic analysis and commentary on technology governance.

Key takeaways
  • Ethics and agile governance approach issues from different angles, but both share the ultimate goal of fostering a better society.
  • The EU AI Act's risk-based categorization, including 'unacceptable risk', provides a useful comparison point for technology ethics and governance.
  • Companion or pet robots raise complex ethical discussions regarding human relationships, social capital, and emotional attachment.
  • Reflective equilibrium serves as a useful methodology to bridge internal ethical insights and external governance structures like regulations.
