In the research field of machine ethics, we commonly categorize artificial moral agents into
four types, with the most advanced referred to as a full ethical agent, or sometimes a full …

Can an artificial moral agent (AMA) qualify as a legitimate moral agent or, for that matter, as
any kind of ''agent''at all? Is an autonomous system (AS) capable of satisfying the conditions …

In the near future, the capabilities of commonly used artificial systems will reach a level
where we will be able to permit them to make moral decisions autonomously as part of their …
