Zusammenfassung:Humanlike robots and digital humans are both fun and useful in many situations. But the more we interact with technology with human traits, the more we believe it to possess real human characteristics like consciousness and personality. As a new breed of artificial beings enter society on a large scale, many of us will start believing they deserve moral consideration and perhaps even rights. In this entertaining and humorously written book, Thomas Telving argues that even though the above scenario is close to inevitable, we should still do all we can to avoid it. Presenting us with thought-provoking future scenarios, state of the art research, and plenty of philosophical thinking, he shows us how to avoid some of the most scary pitfalls of intelligent technology. The book has undergone peer review and is being recommended by various scholars as a relevant read for both academic students and laypeople.
