Description
Summary:'Moral Machines' is the first book to examine the challenge of building artificial moral agents, probing deeply into the nature of human decision making and ethics.
Moral Machines explores the development of computers and robots capable of making moral decisions. Why do we need them? Do we want computers and robots making moral decisions? And if we do, how can we make ethics computable? The challenge of building moral machines forces one to think deeply about how humans make moral decisions.
