论文摘要
风险评估是一种发现和减轻风险,从而提高安全性的众所周知且有力的方法。道德风险评估使用相同的方法,但除了安全风险外,还扩大了涵盖道德风险的风险信封。在本文中,我们概述了在负责任机器人技术的更广泛框架内的道德风险评估(ERA)和设定ERA。然后,我们通过一个假设的智能机器人玩具泰迪熊的案例研究来说明时代:机器人。案例研究表明了ERA的价值以及对道德风险的考虑如何促使设计变化,从而导致更具道德和可持续的机器人。
Risk Assessment is a well known and powerful method for discovering and mitigating risks, and hence improving safety. Ethical Risk Assessment uses the same approach but extends the envelope of risk to cover ethical risks in addition to safety risks. In this paper we outline Ethical Risk Assessment (ERA) and set ERA within the broader framework of Responsible Robotics. We then illustrate ERA with a case study of a hypothetical smart robot toy teddy bear: RoboTed. The case study shows the value of ERA and how consideration of ethical risks can prompt design changes, resulting in a more ethical and sustainable robot.
