商品描述

A provocative attempt to think about what was previously considered unthinkable: a serious philosophical case for the rights of robots.

We are in the midst of a robot invasion, as devices of different configurations and capabilities slowly but surely come to take up increasingly important positions in everyday social reality―self-driving vehicles, recommendation algorithms, machine learning decision making systems, and social robots of various forms and functions. Although considerable attention has already been devotedto the subject of robots and responsibility, the question concerning the social status of these artifacts has been largely overlooked. In this book, David Gunkel offers a provocative attempt to think about what has been previously regarded as unthinkable: whether and to what extent robots and other technological artifacts of our own making can and should have any claim to moral and legal standing.

In his analysis, Gunkel invokes the philosophical distinction (developed by David Hume) between “is” and “ought” in order to evaluate and analyze the different arguments regarding the question of robot rights. In the course of his examination, Gunkel finds that none of the existing positions or proposals hold up under scrutiny. In response to this, he then offers an innovative alternative proposal that effectively flips the script on the is/ought problem by introducing another, altogether different way to conceptualize the social situation of robots and the opportunities and challenges they present to existing moral and legal systems.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一本引人深思的書,試圖思考以前被認為不可想像的事情:為機器人的權利提出嚴肅的哲學論點。

我們正處於機器人入侵的時代,各種不同配置和能力的設備正逐漸在日常社會現實中佔據越來越重要的位置 - 自動駕駛車輛、推薦算法、機器學習決策系統以及各種形式和功能的社交機器人。儘管已經有相當多的注意力集中在機器人和責任的問題上,但對於這些人造物品的社會地位的問題卻被大部分忽視了。在這本書中,大衛·岡克爾(David Gunkel)提出了一個引人深思的嘗試,思考以前被認為不可想像的問題:我們製造的機器人和其他技術人造物品是否應該具有道德和法律地位,以及在多大程度上應該具有這種地位。

在他的分析中,岡克爾引用了大衛·休謨(David Hume)提出的“是”和“應該”之間的哲學區別,以評估和分析有關機器人權利問題的不同論點。在他的研究過程中,岡克爾發現現有的立場或提議都無法經受檢驗。作為回應,他提出了一個創新的替代方案,通過引入另一種完全不同的方式來概念化機器人的社會情境以及它們對現有道德和法律體系所帶來的機會和挑戰,從而有效地改變了“是”和“應該”問題的情境。
