Machine Ethics: Fundamentals and Applications

The field of machine ethics is a subfield of the ethics of artificial intelligence that focuses on the incorporation of, or the assurance of, moral behaviors in man-made machines that make use of artificial intelligence. These machines are also referred to as artificial intelligent agents. The ethics of machines are distinct from those of other areas of ethics relating to engineering and technology. It is important to differentiate between machine ethics and computer ethics, the latter of which focuses on how humans interact with computers. A distinction needs to be made between it and the philosophy of technology, which is concerned with the more profound repercussions that technology has on society.
