Critically evaluate the legal and ethical challenges concerning robotics supporting human endeavour in a future where moral agency is indistinguishable between robots and humans.

It is certain that if we pursue this technology (robotics), then future highly complex interactive robots will be moral agents with the corresponding rights and responsibilities.

Critically evaluate the legal and ethical challenges concerning robotics supporting human endeavour in a future where moral agency is indistinguishable between robots and humans.

To answer this question, based on your analysis and drawing on your studies of W340 and other research you undertake, you must:

  1. discuss briefly the current legal position concerning regulation of robotics and decision-making
  2. assess the ethical issues around robots being moral agents
  3. critically evaluate how legal regulation might develop to effectively engage with the shared moral agency of robots and humans in the future.
