The new field of machine ethics is concerned with giving machines
ethical principles, or a procedure for discovering a way to resolve
the ethical dilemmas they might encounter, enabling them to
function in an ethically responsible manner through their own
ethical decision making. Developing ethics for machines, in
contrast to developing ethics for human beings who use machines, is
by its nature an interdisciplinary endeavor. The essays in this
volume represent the first steps by philosophers and artificial
intelligence researchers toward explaining why it is necessary to
add an ethical dimension to machines that function autonomously,
what is required in order to add this dimension, philosophical and
practical challenges to the machine ethics project, various
approaches that could be considered in attempting to add an ethical
dimension to machines, work that has been done to date in
implementing these approaches, and visions of the future of machine
ethics research.
