I have a very disciplinary background: I obtained my Master degree in Biophysics from the Lomonosov Moscow State University, then went on to do a PhD in Genomics in Vienna, during which more broad concepts and analyses were occupying me along with the detailed scientific questions. I have started my Philosophy training during my PhD and then after graduating, I started a Masters in Philosophy and History of Science at the Vienna University. My main interests are Bioethics, particularly the ethics of human genetic engineering, Philosophy of Technology and Philosophy of Mind, particularly machine morality and robot/AI ethics.
Moral Machines: Using Natural Morality to Guide Artificial Morality
Increasingly autonomous machines are increasingly entering our everyday life, and it is important that they do not make it worse. Apart from safety, the development of artificial morality is extensively occupying philosophers and engineers. Importantly, the only kind of morality we have known is natural. In this paper, I overview the biological and evolutionary aspects of human morality and the main approaches to artificial morality. I then carefully compare the two bringing up important aspects of natural morality that are of crucial consideration for the field of artificial morality if we want to make future human-robot societies flourishing and sustainable.
