Toward machines that behave ethically better than humans do

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: With the increasing dependence on autonomous operating agents and robots the need for ethical machine behavior rises.This paper presents a moral reasoner that combines connectionism, utilitarianism and ethical theory about moral duties.The moral decision-making matches the analysis of expert ethicists in the health domain.This may be useful in many applications, especially where machines interact with humans in a medical context.Additionally, when connected to a cognitive model of emotional intelligence and affective decision making, it can be explored how moral decision making impacts affective behavior.
