The Moral Status of Robots with Tobias Flattery

The London Lyceum

Jordan talks with Tobias Flattery about a range of technological ethics issues especially relating to robots and moral status. They cover topics like: What is the field of technology ethics? Why is it important? How advanced are robots becoming? Why does being sentient provide something with moral status? Why think that robots should have moral status? Especially if they never are or can become sentient? What is the Kantian argument for indirect animal rights? And more!
