Re: Four Kinds of Ethical Robots
Ethics and morals are intellectually known to a human and there is a connection between the person and how he sees himself. To a robot ethics and morals are definitional only (it doesn't have true intelligence). Also, the robot doesn't have a sense of self to protect.
