Rights for Robots: Artificial Intelligence, Animal and Environmental Law

商品描述

Bringing a unique perspective to the burgeoning ethical and legal issues surrounding the presence of artificial intelligence in our daily lives, the book uses theory and practice on animal rights and the rights of nature to assess the status of robots.

 

Through extensive philosophical and legal analyses, the book explores how rights can be applied to nonhuman entities. This task is completed by developing a framework useful for determining the kinds of personhood for which a nonhuman entity might be eligible, and a critical environmental ethic that extends moral and legal consideration to nonhumans. The framework and ethic are then applied to two hypothetical situations involving real-world technology--animal-like robot companions and humanoid sex robots. Additionally, the book approaches the subject from multiple perspectives, providing a comparative study of legal cases on animal rights and the rights of nature from around the world and insights from structured interviews with leading experts in the field of robotics. Ending with a call to rethink the concept of rights in the Anthropocene, suggestions for further research are made.

 

An essential read for scholars and students interested in robot, animal and environmental law, as well as those interested in technology more generally, the book is a ground-breaking study of an increasingly relevant topic, as robots become ubiquitous in modern society.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書從獨特的角度探討了圍繞人工智慧在我們日常生活中存在的倫理和法律問題，利用動物權利和自然權利的理論與實踐來評估機器人的地位。

透過廣泛的哲學和法律分析，本書探討了如何將權利應用於非人類實體。這項任務是通過發展一個框架來完成的，該框架有助於確定非人類實體可能符合的各種人格類型，以及一種將道德和法律考量擴展至非人類的批判性環境倫理。然後，該框架和倫理被應用於兩個涉及現實世界技術的假設情境——類動物機器人伴侶和類人性別機器人。此外，本書從多個角度探討該主題，提供了全球範圍內有關動物權利和自然權利的法律案例的比較研究，以及來自機器人領域領先專家的結構性訪談見解。最後，呼籲重新思考人類世中的權利概念，並提出進一步研究的建議。

本書是對於對機器人、動物和環境法感興趣的學者和學生，以及對技術更廣泛感興趣的讀者而言，都是一本必讀之作，因為隨著機器人在現代社會中變得無處不在，這一日益相關的主題的研究具有開創性。
