Artificial intelligence and advanced robots are increasingly used in science and society, and in many ways they outperform human capabilities. An important question is how our moral and legal stance towards robots will develop when their human likeness increases. In this entertaining new book, Thomas Telving takes us through possible scenarios seen in a philosophical perspective. Enlightening, thought-provoking and highly recommended. --Jacob J. K. Kirkensgaard, PhD, Associate Professor at the Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen The rapid development in (embodied) artificial intelligence is all but certain to change our lives in the coming years. Using a philosophical framework, Thomas Telving convincingly presents a number of pitfalls following a large increase in human-robot interaction. He joins the important roboethic debate on what future we want to live in and what it takes for humanity to keep the upper hand in shaping it. --Tobias Larsen, PhD in Computational Neuroscience from University of Bristol, senior data scientist at Oviva AG This entertaining and well-written book introduces a central and crucial topic in AI, Human Robot Interaction and roboethics, namely the question of when robots are or should be recognized as worthy of moral consideration. Answering this question becomes increasingly necessary as robots enter society on a larger scale. The book also contains an excellent outline of classical philosophical discussions related to the field. --Anne Gerdes, Professor in Humanistic Information Studies, University of Southern Denmark
