New book on Programming Machine Ethics

Programming Machine Ethics, by Luís Moniz Pereira and Ari Saptawijaya presents novel perspectives in machine ethics and brings together fundamental issues in ethics and finely tuned computational techniques.

Machine ethics (or computational ethics) is a subdiscipline of artificial intelligence concerned with the moral behavior of artificially intelligent entities such as autonomous systems and bots where decision making abilities may be subject to moral constraints. The book was recently published by Springer on the Studies in Applied Philosophy, Epistemology and Rational Ethics series.

Luís Moniz Pereira is Emeritus Professor of FCT-UNL, Department of Computer Science, and Researcher at the NOVA LINCS Knowledge-Based Systems Group.
