Machine ethics is currently emerging as a new discipline at the interface between computer science, ethics and philosophy.
In this seminar we want to shed light on this exciting field from different perspectives.
In the first two sessions we offer a historical and philosophical introduction to the topic.
All further sessions will be dedicated to specific topics ranging from Asimov's robot laws to drones, military technology and care robots – depending on the number of participants, these will be discussed in plenary or in small groups from different perspectives.
The aim is to impart basic knowledge on machine ethics and to present discourses on moral machines in their historical and social context. The aim is also, to create an awareness of the relationship between methodological and ethical issues in the development of AI-driven fields of application.
The Seminar will be held in German language, but some of the texts discussed are in English. Also, translations into English can be offered simultaneously.
