Human-Robot Interaction Ethics in Sci-Fi Movies: Ethics Are Not 'There', We Are the Ethics!

摘要

Human-Robot interaction is a field seeing massive growth, and as robots gain more and more capabilities they will play an increasingly prominent part in our everyday lives. But, as robotic development continues to grow, one subfield of robotics research is lagging behind other areas: roboethics or ensuring that robot behavior adheres to certain moral standards. This paper explores robot ethics through the lens of some popular sci-fi movies involving robots as characters in their storyline. Different ethical issues related to human-robot interaction are cast and discussed. To overcome those issues, a survey was conducted to detect everyone's duty. Its results and implications are presented and may be of benefit to HRI researchers.
