This book provides an authoritative resource on the topic of
intelligent robots, artificial intelligence and the ethical
implications of these revolutionary innovations. It examines the moral
and ethical problems that arise in relation to the development, design
and use of intelligent robots, which are capable of autonomous or
semi-autonomous decision-making. These problems might relate, for
example, to medical robots, driverless cars, intelligent military
drones, pedagogical robots, police robots, legal robots and many
others. The main question addressed in this book is how we can
understand, explain and apply the concept of ethics in relation to
intelligent robots and artificial intelligence. In each chapter, the
author examines a different aspect of this question. The author also
questions how we can ensure that intelligent robots are of service to
humans and under what conditions intelligent robots could become more
ethical than humans. The book employs an original approach to
examining this cutting-edge research question, combining different
research areas, and offers a wealth of practical relevance and
real-world examples, illustrated through vivid case studies. With its
jargon free approach and a dedicated chapter on relevant concepts at
the end, this book is also accessible to readers without prior
knowledge on intelligent robots and the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
By providing a general account of this debate, and of the consequences
of the innovations resulting from these trends, the book serves as an
important contribution to the discussion and will find a natural
readership among scholars and students of the innovation economy and
those concerned with the ethical considerations arising in the wake of
the Fourth Industrial Revolution
