Taking Grodzinsky et al. as laying the basic requirements, I would argue that deception by carebots with regard to vulnerable persons may be allowed only if (a) the intention of the developer is ethical with respect to the care recipients, (b) the consequences are indeed positive for the care recipient, (c) there are no viable alternatives to the use of deception; and (d) the extent of infringement of the care recipient’s autonomy is not more than that via other means.
