for AI&Society (Q1 SCIMago). <br />https://www.springer.com/journal/146<br /><br />In 2022, Robert Clowes who leads the IFILNOVA MInd, Cognition and Knowledge group in Lisbon appointed me a collaborator (https://ifilnova.pt/en/research-groups/lmckg/). <br /><br />Since 2017, Jun Tani has listed me as a visiting researcher with his cognitive neurorobotics research group at OIST in Okinawa, Japan (https://groups.oist.jp/cnru/jun-tani). <br /><br /> University of Missouri (PhD, Philosophy, 2006). Inspired by Ron Sun's Duality of Mind, my dissertation "Conscience: towards the mechanism of morality" offered an information processing model of cognition as essentially moral, integrating computational models of cognition, traditional philosophy and cognitive science. <br /><br />I have been fortunate to design and administer many different ethics and philosophy courses at KAIST from 2010 until 2015, including Minds and Machines and Introduction to Philosophy, Philosophy of Mind and Robot Ethics, many others. For a few years, KAIST supported teams of student assistants for large lecture hall small group discussion orientated problem and challenge-based courses heavy on critical thinking and integrative teamwork skills. We had some really great classes. Students often responded very well to our methods. We incorporated a lot of media, such as Snowpiercer mapped to the Allegory of the Cave. <br /><br />From 2018-2021, including transitioning from offline to online during COVID lockdowns, I taught philosophy and ethics for various degree programs at two different universities in the Netherlands. I have a paper out on engineering ethics informed by the experience, "Augmenting morality through ethics education".<br /><br />Since, I have been able to redirect attention to AI& Society and  to ACTWith model-relevant interests. The ACTWith model was missing an account of orientation to the good. I have that now with the "compass point of conscience" (see recent Embodied Intelligence slides, and the paper "Variable value alignment by design"). Further work in the context of education is anticipated, as is further work in autonomous robots in developmental neurorobotics. The idea is to formalize human developmental processes for robots.<br /><br />Current foci include authenticity for Jun's neurorobots, and a rewrite my old Conscience book updated with the solution to value orientation and purpose in life involving spindle neurons. An old draft of that book is ranked around #300 in total downloads on philpapers.org.<br /><br />My Autonomous Reboot series remains in the pipeline, with recent entries from contemporaries to make appearances, for example from Damasio and Man, and I have an old promise to set out self-abduction for Lorenzo Magnani, a proposal that was also waiting for research related with development of a global attractor, above. My recent paper involving Ortega y Gasset and vocation challenging ecological enactivism about purpose in life and happiness established this line in neurology and traditional philosophy (see "metaphysical self-development") and is worked out explicitly in a chapter for Lorenzo and Selene Arfini, now under review.<br /><br />Ideally, I will be able to design and administer courses at another university such as at KAIST, with a stable situation to best complete these research projects and clearly communicate results.<br /><div class="js-profile-less-about u-linkUnstyled

impoverishes human potential for discovery. The chapter reviews Magnani on affordance, wonders what is accessible when "good" affordances appear absent, and answers self-affordance. Ecologies optimized for discovery should be optimized for self-affordance. The chapter considers the role of oracle as leading vision for discovery, and proposes a naturalized account of self that is essentially propositional, in pursuit of an inner oracle, seeking salvation through routine and religious ritual. This is self-abduction. Variable biological development may motivate religious self-abduction characterized by self-sacrifice for the collective good over the long term. in conclusion, the chapter affirms Magnani's call to optimize cognitive ecologies for discovery, by prioritizing religious self-abduction.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="17a11795a39a805ebc9ddfc2ae2cfc3d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":120210295,"asset_id":126313738,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/120210295/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126313738"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126313738"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126313738;

Wilson emphasized the defining characteristic of complex systems, that they undergo transformations which are irreversible. His view is now standard, and his central point bears repeated emphasis, today: natural systems can be broken, species—including us—can disappear, ecosystems can fail, and technological prostheses potentiate rather than ameliorate disaster when the fragilities that they introduce into our evolutionary co-dependencies with natural systems, and with each other, are under-appreciated.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f9585579a439bc41acae4da3033deb22" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":117383115,"asset_id":122793605,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117383115/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="122793605"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="122793605"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 122793605;

The idea is that robots so designed may autonomously align with human values through similar developmental processes, to realize project ideal conditions through iterative interaction with social and object environments just as humans do, such as are expressed in narratives and life stories. One persistent problem with human value orientation is that different human beings champion different values as ideal, meaning that the values to which an AI should be aligned are ambiguous. Prior work considered human development of purpose and source of meaning in life in terms of project ideal conditions, in effect establishing lifelong value orientations according to which intermediate situations are evaluated. The present work compares views on motivating values from St. Augustine and from popular cognitive science. These accounts are described as divergent error theories which present to their proponents as mutually exclusive yet accurate accounts of personal experience due to differential development of variable innate potentials. SpeciTically, the hypothesis proposed is that differential development of spindle neural projections establishes enduring connections between prior established relatively immediate routine processes entrained during childhood and prioritized in popular cognitive science, and later developing higher-level social and self-processes entrained during adolescence and emphasized in Augustine's account, with these projections hard-wiring lifelong motivating value orientations more or less inaccessible to modiTication through material interaction. Robot experiments informed by this study may evaluate variable value orientation by design, with for example autonomous robots developing motivating associations with temporally distal project ideal conditions through love for humanity, as described by Augustine, and others pursuing adaptive fit to passing norms consistent with popular contemporary accounts.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="824d2c9543f3ca8ba40e0e7fd9b7581c" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":118976563,"asset_id":122516629,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118976563/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="122516629"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="122516629"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 122516629;

Current AI ethics guidelines are abstract and difficult to implement as practical moral concerns proliferate. They call for improvements in ethics course design, focusing on real-world cases and perspective-taking tools to immerse students in challenging situations with relatable personal, social and environmental implications. The present paper considers the ACTWith model of moral cognition for use in such training contexts. Morley and colleagues’ paper and contemporary research literature are reviewed. Whistleblowing as a source for relatable case-studies is discussed, and the purpose of ethics education considered. The ACTWith model is introduced, and correlations with contemporary research noted. The ACTWith model has been successfully employed in a broad range of technology ethics courses in the Netherlands and South Korea. Illustrations are offered. Parallel efforts in the context of software engineering are observed. Summary discussion considers strengths and limitations of the ACTWith program. Overall, the paper emphasizes training high-level moral reasoning through guided inquiry education informing lifetime professional practice, recognizes an outstanding need for teachers able to do the job, and offers the ACTWith program for necessary skill development.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="117051610"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="117051610"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 117051610;

Complementary research portrays processes associated with self as multimodal routines selectively enacted on the basis of contextual cues in- forming predictive self or world models, with the notion of the constant, pervasive and invariant sense of self associated with a multistable attractor set aiming to en- sure personal integrity against threat of disintegrative change. This paper proposes that an immutable sense of self emerges as a global attractor which can be described as a project ideal self-situation embodied in frontal medial processes during more or less normal adolescent development, and that thereafter serves to orient agency in the more or less free development of embodied potentials over the life course in effort to realize project conditions, phenomenally identified with the felt pull to- wards this end as purpose of and source of meaning in life. So oriented, life-long self-development aims to embody solutions to problems at different timescales de- pending on this embodied purpose, ultimately in the service of evolutionary pro- cesses securing organism populations against threats of disintegrative change over timespans far beyond that of the individual. After characterizing the target sense of self, research circling this target is briefly surveyed. Self as global project and devel- opmental neural correlates are proposed. Then, the paper discusses some implica- tions for research in biological and artificial systems. Building from earlier work in cognitive neurorobotics, discussion affirms the value of reinforcement rituals in- cluding prayer in metaphysical self-development, considers implications for value alignment and rights associated with free will in the context of artificial intelligence and robot religion, and concludes by emphasizing the importance of self- development toward project ideals as source of meaning in life in the current social- political environment.

However, different senses of self remain unresolved in natural systems, hindering progress in biologically inspired computational models. Recent work distinguishes between "me" and "I", locates "me" in layers of neurological activity, and challenges researchers to locate the "metaphysical 'I'" in the natural order, similarly. How might such a sense of self emerge in human beings, and what are the implications for AI research? This paper locates the "I" as a global project emerging through more or less normal adolescent development, and towards the realization of which neural processes associated with intermediate tasks grow, organize and are preferentially enacted. Discussion concludes by briefly noting implications for ongoing research into self in humans, in AI, their mutual value alignment and the relative moral status of systems engineered accordingly.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="29e6ee4e15633e3de89665a6c754dbc4" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":79468779,"asset_id":69331932,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/79468779/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="69331932"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="69331932"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 69331932;

This series of papers meets this challenge by landscaping traditional moral theory in resolution of a comprehensive account of moral agency. The first paper established the challenge and set out autonomy in Aristotelian terms. The present paper interprets Kantian moral theory on the basis of the preceding introduction, argues contra Tonkens that an engineer does not violate the categorical imperative in creating Kantian AMAs, and proposes that a Kantian AMA is not only a possible goal for Machine ethics research, but a necessary one.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="eaa6b3cf8625c807db00695b5c690b79" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":65468910,"asset_id":44941055,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65468910/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44941055"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44941055"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44941055;

Challenges for machine ethicists have also been presented by Anthony Beavers and Wendell Wallach. Beavers pushes for the reinvention of traditional ethics to avoid "ethical nihilism" due to the reduction of morality to mechanical causation. Wallach pushes for redoubled efforts toward a comprehensive account of ethics to guide machine ethicists on the issue of artificial moral agency. Options, thus, present themselves: reinterpret traditional ethics in a way that affords a comprehensive account of moral agency inclusive of both artificial and natural agents, or give up on the possibility and “muddle through” regardless. This series of papers pursues the first option, meets Tonkens’ "challenge" and pursues Wallach’s ends through Beavers’ proposed means, by "landscaping" traditional moral theory in resolution of a comprehensive account of moral agency. This first paper sets out the challenge and establishes the tradition that Kant had inherited from Aristotle, briefly entertains an Aristotelian AMA, fields objections, and ends with unanswered questions. The next paper in this series responds to the challenge in Kantian terms, and argues that a Kantian AMA is not only a possibility for Machine ethics research, but a necessary one.<br /><br />Online at <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-020-01039-2" rel="nofollow">https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-020-01039-2</a></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="dafe6e0070b72cfa518193e937c8ee7d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":64625330,"asset_id":44252166,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64625330/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44252166"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44252166"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44252166;

The main idea is that computational models at select levels of organization may be integrated in natural terms describing biological cognition, thereby normalizing a platform for predictive simulations able to account for both human and environmental costs associated with different action plans and institutional arrangements over short and long time spans while minimizing computational requirements. Building from established research programs, the proposal aims to take advantage of current momentum in the direction of the integration of the cognitive with social and natural sciences , reduce start-up costs and increase speed of development.

At that time, he advised that there was nothing "directly" to be done toward machines with human-like intelligence, and that practical research should aim at a symbiosis between human beings and computers with computers doing what they do best, processing discrete symbols in formally structured problem domains. Fast-forward five decades, and his emphasis on the difference between two essential modes of processing, the unconscious yet purposeful mode fundamental to situated human cognition, and the "minded" sense of conscious processing characterizing symbolic reasoning that seems to lend itself to explicit programming, continues into the famous Dreyfus-McDowell debate. The present memorial reviews Dreyfus' early projections, asking if the fears that punctuate current popular commentary on AI are warranted, and in light of these if he would deliver similar practical advice to researchers today.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="cc91acf7caac27a498cf34d3768a58ff" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":64939681,"asset_id":36709745,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64939681/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="36709745"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="36709745"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 36709745;

As such simulations under consideration resemble "brains in vats" (BIVs) and may appear open to similar objections, the paper begins by reviewing objections to BIV type proposals, specifically those due a presumed mad envatter. In counter example, we explore the motivating rationale behind current work in the development of psychologically realistic social simulations. Further concerns about rendering human cognition in a computational medium are confronted through review of current dynamic systems models of cognitive agency. In these models, aspects of the human condition are reproduced that may in other forms be considered incomputable, i.e. political voice, predictive planning and consciousness. The paper then argues that simulations afford a unique potential to secure a post-human future, and may be necessary for a pre-post-human civilization like our own to achieve and to maintain a post-human situation. Long-standing philosophical interest in tools of this nature for Aristotle’s “statesman” and more recently for E.O. Wilson in the 1990s is observed. Self-extinction level threats from State and individual levels of organization are compared, and a likely dependence on large-scale psychologically realistic simulations to get past self-extinction level threats is projected. In the end, Bostrom's basic argument for the conviction that we exist now in a simulation is reaffirmed.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="1a3df18e35ede43df46669575745df69" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":55703920,"asset_id":15181995,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55703920/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="15181995"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="15181995"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 15181995;

In Floridi’s information ethics, problems of consistency arise between self-poiesis, anagnorisis, entropy, evil, and the narrative structure of the world. Solutions come from Magnani’s work in distributed morality, moral mediators, moral bubbles and moral disengagement. Finally, two examples of information technology, one ancient and one new, a Socratic narrative and an information processing model of moral cognition, are offered as mediators for the nonviolent transformation of self and world respectively, while avoiding the tragic requirements inherent in Floridi’s proposal.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="c4072d2cc57c9745904927f6f05ef391" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":55608607,"asset_id":6149842,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55608607/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="6149842"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="6149842"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 6149842;

The cognitive sciences, spanning neurology, psychology, and computational intelligence, offer substantial ad- vances in understanding the origins and purposes of morality. Meanwhile, world events urge the timely synthesis of these insights with traditional ac- counts that can be easily assimilated and practically employed to augment moral judgment, both to solve current problems and to direct future action. The object of the following paper is to present such a synthesis in the form of a model of moral cognition, the ACTWith model of conscience. The purpose of the model is twofold. One, the ACTWith model is intended to shed light on personal moral dispositions, and to provide a tool for actual human moral agents in the refinement of their moral lives. As such, it relies on the power of personal introspection, bolstered by the careful study of moral exemplars available to all persons in all cultures in the form of literary or religious fig- ures, if not in the form of contemporary peers and especially leadership. Two, the ACTWith model is intended as a minimum architecture for fully func- tional artificial morality. As such, it is essentially amodal, implementation non-specific and is developed in the form of an information processing control system. There are given as few hard points in this system as necessary for moral function, and these are themselves taken from review of actual human cognitive processes, thereby intentionally capturing as closely as possible what is expected of moral action and reaction by human beings. Only in satisfying these untutored intuitions should an artificial agent ever be properly regarded as moral, at least in the general population of existing moral agents. Thus, the ACTWith model is intended as a guide both for individual moral develop- ment and for the development of artificial moral agents as future technology permits. <br /> <br />White, J. (2010).

However, it is yet to be fully and effectively understood. Within the context of the DSM-IV, for example, it is best regarded as a complex family of disorders. The upside is that this family can be tightly related along common dimensions. Characteristic marks of psychopaths include a lack of guilt and remorse for paradigm case immoral actions, leading to the common conception of psychopathy rooted in affective dysfunctions. An adequate portrait of psychopathy is much more complicated, however. Though some neural regions and corresponding functions are commonly indicated, they range across those responsible for action planning and learning, as well asemotional processes. Accordingly, a complete fine-grained map of all neural mechanisms responsible for psychopathy has not been realized, and even if it were, such a map would have limited utility outside of the context of surgical or chemical intervention. <br />The utility of a neural-level understanding of psychopathy is further limited by the fact that it is only applicable in the clinical identification of individual subjects, and the neuro-chemical/biological correction of those subjects after they are positively identified as psychopaths. On the other hand, an information processing model of moral cognition provides for wider-ranging applications. The theoretical and practical implications for such a feasible working model of psychopathic personalities are assessed. Finally, this chapter raises the possibility of directed modification of social-environmental factors (including at the meta-organizational level) discouraging the development of psychopathic personalities in the first place, modifications which are also open to simulation and testing in terms of the same model of moral cognition.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="771240fee9a76594375582848d984bf7" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":37213286,"asset_id":4845159,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/37213286/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="4845159"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="4845159"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 4845159;

Indeed, “a moral agent is necessarily an autonomous agent.”(Smithers, 1997, page 95) And, moral agency is anything but clear, bound up as it is with things like freewill, responsibility, intention, conscience, personal identity and selfhood. Confronted with so many unanswered questions, researchers often operate under two distinct notions of autonomy, one associated with human and another with artificial agents. This lack of uniformity is theoretically unappealing, impedes progress on both forms of agency, and its constructive resolution is the focus of this paper.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="e3e4141374fb0b17cd6765e518e2904c" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":40899576,"asset_id":4845001,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/40899576/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="4845001"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="4845001"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 4845001;

It begins with biological nonreductionism as understood by Searle. It emphasizes the role of synthetic neurorobotics studies in accessing the dynamic structure essential to consciousness with a focus on system criticality and self. It develops a distinction between simulated and formal consciousness based on this emphasis, reviews Tani's and colleagues' work in light of this distinction, and ends by forecasting the increasing importance of synthetic neurorobotics studies for cognitive science and philosophy of mind going forward, finally in regards to most-and myth-consciousness.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="4ff7e2567cddef5985ec03fdc73b6a7f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":55005610,"asset_id":34604976,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55005610/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="34604976"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="34604976"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 34604976;

The chapter reviews Magnani on affordance, wonders what is accessible when "good" affordances appear absent, and answers self-affordance. Ecologies optimized for discovery should be optimized for self-affordance. The chapter considers the role of oracle as leading vision for discovery, and proposes a naturalized account of self that is essentially propositional, in pursuit of an inner oracle, seeking salvation through routine and religious ritual. This is self-abduction. Variable biological development may motivate religious self-abduction characterized by self-sacrifice for the collective good over the long term. in conclusion, the chapter affirms Magnani's call to optimize cognitive ecologies for discovery, by prioritizing religious self-abduction.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="17a11795a39a805ebc9ddfc2ae2cfc3d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":120210295,"asset_id":126313738,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/120210295/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="126313738"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="126313738"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 126313738;

Wilson emphasized the defining characteristic of complex systems, that they undergo transformations which are irreversible. His view is now standard, and his central point bears repeated emphasis, today: natural systems can be broken, species—including us—can disappear, ecosystems can fail, and technological prostheses potentiate rather than ameliorate disaster when the fragilities that they introduce into our evolutionary co-dependencies with natural systems, and with each other, are under-appreciated.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f9585579a439bc41acae4da3033deb22" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":117383115,"asset_id":122793605,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/117383115/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="122793605"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="122793605"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 122793605;

The idea is that robots so designed may autonomously align with human values through similar developmental processes, to realize project ideal conditions through iterative interaction with social and object environments just as humans do, such as are expressed in narratives and life stories. One persistent problem with human value orientation is that different human beings champion different values as ideal, meaning that the values to which an AI should be aligned are ambiguous. Prior work considered human development of purpose and source of meaning in life in terms of project ideal conditions, in effect establishing lifelong value orientations according to which intermediate situations are evaluated. The present work compares views on motivating values from St. Augustine and from popular cognitive science. These accounts are described as divergent error theories which present to their proponents as mutually exclusive yet accurate accounts of personal experience due to differential development of variable innate potentials. SpeciTically, the hypothesis proposed is that differential development of spindle neural projections establishes enduring connections between prior established relatively immediate routine processes entrained during childhood and prioritized in popular cognitive science, and later developing higher-level social and self-processes entrained during adolescence and emphasized in Augustine's account, with these projections hard-wiring lifelong motivating value orientations more or less inaccessible to modiTication through material interaction. Robot experiments informed by this study may evaluate variable value orientation by design, with for example autonomous robots developing motivating associations with temporally distal project ideal conditions through love for humanity, as described by Augustine, and others pursuing adaptive fit to passing norms consistent with popular contemporary accounts.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="824d2c9543f3ca8ba40e0e7fd9b7581c" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":118976563,"asset_id":122516629,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/118976563/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="122516629"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="122516629"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 122516629;

Current AI ethics guidelines are abstract and difficult to implement as practical moral concerns proliferate. They call for improvements in ethics course design, focusing on real-world cases and perspective-taking tools to immerse students in challenging situations with relatable personal, social and environmental implications. The present paper considers the ACTWith model of moral cognition for use in such training contexts. Morley and colleagues’ paper and contemporary research literature are reviewed. Whistleblowing as a source for relatable case-studies is discussed, and the purpose of ethics education considered. The ACTWith model is introduced, and correlations with contemporary research noted. The ACTWith model has been successfully employed in a broad range of technology ethics courses in the Netherlands and South Korea. Illustrations are offered. Parallel efforts in the context of software engineering are observed. Summary discussion considers strengths and limitations of the ACTWith program. Overall, the paper emphasizes training high-level moral reasoning through guided inquiry education informing lifetime professional practice, recognizes an outstanding need for teachers able to do the job, and offers the ACTWith program for necessary skill development.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="117051610"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="117051610"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 117051610;

Complementary research portrays processes associated with self as multimodal routines selectively enacted on the basis of contextual cues in- forming predictive self or world models, with the notion of the constant, pervasive and invariant sense of self associated with a multistable attractor set aiming to en- sure personal integrity against threat of disintegrative change. This paper proposes that an immutable sense of self emerges as a global attractor which can be described as a project ideal self-situation embodied in frontal medial processes during more or less normal adolescent development, and that thereafter serves to orient agency in the more or less free development of embodied potentials over the life course in effort to realize project conditions, phenomenally identified with the felt pull to- wards this end as purpose of and source of meaning in life. So oriented, life-long self-development aims to embody solutions to problems at different timescales de- pending on this embodied purpose, ultimately in the service of evolutionary pro- cesses securing organism populations against threats of disintegrative change over timespans far beyond that of the individual. After characterizing the target sense of self, research circling this target is briefly surveyed. Self as global project and devel- opmental neural correlates are proposed. Then, the paper discusses some implica- tions for research in biological and artificial systems. Building from earlier work in cognitive neurorobotics, discussion affirms the value of reinforcement rituals in- cluding prayer in metaphysical self-development, considers implications for value alignment and rights associated with free will in the context of artificial intelligence and robot religion, and concludes by emphasizing the importance of self- development toward project ideals as source of meaning in life in the current social- political environment.

However, different senses of self remain unresolved in natural systems, hindering progress in biologically inspired computational models. Recent work distinguishes between "me" and "I", locates "me" in layers of neurological activity, and challenges researchers to locate the "metaphysical 'I'" in the natural order, similarly. How might such a sense of self emerge in human beings, and what are the implications for AI research? This paper locates the "I" as a global project emerging through more or less normal adolescent development, and towards the realization of which neural processes associated with intermediate tasks grow, organize and are preferentially enacted. Discussion concludes by briefly noting implications for ongoing research into self in humans, in AI, their mutual value alignment and the relative moral status of systems engineered accordingly.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="29e6ee4e15633e3de89665a6c754dbc4" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":79468779,"asset_id":69331932,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/79468779/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="69331932"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="69331932"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 69331932;

The first paper established the challenge and set out autonomy in Aristotelian terms. The present paper interprets Kantian moral theory on the basis of the preceding introduction, argues contra Tonkens that an engineer does not violate the categorical imperative in creating Kantian AMAs, and proposes that a Kantian AMA is not only a possible goal for Machine ethics research, but a necessary one.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="eaa6b3cf8625c807db00695b5c690b79" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":65468910,"asset_id":44941055,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65468910/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44941055"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44941055"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44941055;

Challenges for machine ethicists have also been presented by Anthony Beavers and Wendell Wallach. Beavers pushes for the reinvention of traditional ethics to avoid "ethical nihilism" due to the reduction of morality to mechanical causation. Wallach pushes for redoubled efforts toward a comprehensive account of ethics to guide machine ethicists on the issue of artificial moral agency. Options, thus, present themselves: reinterpret traditional ethics in a way that affords a comprehensive account of moral agency inclusive of both artificial and natural agents, or give up on the possibility and “muddle through” regardless. This series of papers pursues the first option, meets Tonkens’ "challenge" and pursues Wallach’s ends through Beavers’ proposed means, by "landscaping" traditional moral theory in resolution of a comprehensive account of moral agency. This first paper sets out the challenge and establishes the tradition that Kant had inherited from Aristotle, briefly entertains an Aristotelian AMA, fields objections, and ends with unanswered questions. The next paper in this series responds to the challenge in Kantian terms, and argues that a Kantian AMA is not only a possibility for Machine ethics research, but a necessary one.<br /><br />Online at <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-020-01039-2" rel="nofollow">https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-020-01039-2</a></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="dafe6e0070b72cfa518193e937c8ee7d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":64625330,"asset_id":44252166,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64625330/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="44252166"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="44252166"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 44252166;

The main idea is that computational models at select levels of organization may be integrated in natural terms describing biological cognition, thereby normalizing a platform for predictive simulations able to account for both human and environmental costs associated with different action plans and institutional arrangements over short and long time spans while minimizing computational requirements. Building from established research programs, the proposal aims to take advantage of current momentum in the direction of the integration of the cognitive with social and natural sciences , reduce start-up costs and increase speed of development. These are all important upshots given rising unease over the potential for AI and related technologies to shape the world going forward.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="af5a9978de7420001c07e0907e12f0f9" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":58967883,"asset_id":38871559,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/58967883/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="38871559"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="38871559"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 38871559;

At that time, he advised that there was nothing "directly" to be done toward machines with human-like intelligence, and that practical research should aim at a symbiosis between human beings and computers with computers doing what they do best, processing discrete symbols in formally structured problem domains. Fast-forward five decades, and his emphasis on the difference between two essential modes of processing, the unconscious yet purposeful mode fundamental to situated human cognition, and the "minded" sense of conscious processing characterizing symbolic reasoning that seems to lend itself to explicit programming, continues into the famous Dreyfus-McDowell debate. The present memorial reviews Dreyfus' early projections, asking if the fears that punctuate current popular commentary on AI are warranted, and in light of these if he would deliver similar practical advice to researchers today.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="cc91acf7caac27a498cf34d3768a58ff" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":64939681,"asset_id":36709745,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64939681/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="36709745"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="36709745"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 36709745;

As such simulations under consideration resemble "brains in vats" (BIVs) and may appear open to similar objections, the paper begins by reviewing objections to BIV type proposals, specifically those due a presumed mad envatter. In counter example, we explore the motivating rationale behind current work in the development of psychologically realistic social simulations. Further concerns about rendering human cognition in a computational medium are confronted through review of current dynamic systems models of cognitive agency. In these models, aspects of the human condition are reproduced that may in other forms be considered incomputable, i.e. political voice, predictive planning and consciousness. The paper then argues that simulations afford a unique potential to secure a post-human future, and may be necessary for a pre-post-human civilization like our own to achieve and to maintain a post-human situation. Long-standing philosophical interest in tools of this nature for Aristotle’s “statesman” and more recently for E.O. Wilson in the 1990s is observed. Self-extinction level threats from State and individual levels of organization are compared, and a likely dependence on large-scale psychologically realistic simulations to get past self-extinction level threats is projected.

In Floridi’s information ethics, problems of consistency arise between self-poiesis, anagnorisis, entropy, evil, and the narrative structure of the world. Solutions come from Magnani’s work in distributed morality, moral mediators, moral bubbles and moral disengagement. Finally, two examples of information technology, one ancient and one new, a Socratic narrative and an information processing model of moral cognition, are offered as mediators for the nonviolent transformation of self and world respectively, while avoiding the tragic requirements inherent in Floridi’s proposal.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="c4072d2cc57c9745904927f6f05ef391" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":55608607,"asset_id":6149842,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55608607/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="6149842"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="6149842"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 6149842;

The cognitive sciences, spanning neurology, psychology, and computational intelligence, offer substantial ad- vances in understanding the origins and purposes of morality. Meanwhile, world events urge the timely synthesis of these insights with traditional ac- counts that can be easily assimilated and practically employed to augment moral judgment, both to solve current problems and to direct future action. The object of the following paper is to present such a synthesis in the form of a model of moral cognition, the ACTWith model of conscience. The purpose of the model is twofold. One, the ACTWith model is intended to shed light on personal moral dispositions, and to provide a tool for actual human moral agents in the refinement of their moral lives. As such, it relies on the power of personal introspection, bolstered by the careful study of moral exemplars available to all persons in all cultures in the form of literary or religious fig- ures, if not in the form of contemporary peers and especially leadership. Two, the ACTWith model is intended as a minimum architecture for fully func- tional artificial morality. As such, it is essentially amodal, implementation non-specific and is developed in the form of an information processing control system. There are given as few hard points in this system as necessary for moral function, and these are themselves taken from review of actual human cognitive processes, thereby intentionally capturing as closely as possible what is expected of moral action and reaction by human beings. Only in satisfying these untutored intuitions should an artificial agent ever be properly regarded as moral, at least in the general population of existing moral agents. Thus, the ACTWith model is intended as a guide both for individual moral develop- ment and for the development of artificial moral agents as future technology permits. <br /> <br />White, J. (2010).

However, it is yet to be fully and effectively understood. Within the context of the DSM-IV, for example, it is best regarded as a complex family of disorders. The upside is that this family can be tightly related along common dimensions. Characteristic marks of psychopaths include a lack of guilt and remorse for paradigm case immoral actions, leading to the common conception of psychopathy rooted in affective dysfunctions. An adequate portrait of psychopathy is much more complicated, however. Though some neural regions and corresponding functions are commonly indicated, they range across those responsible for action planning and learning, as well asemotional processes. Accordingly, a complete fine-grained map of all neural mechanisms responsible for psychopathy has not been realized, and even if it were, such a map would have limited utility outside of the context of surgical or chemical intervention. <br />The utility of a neural-level understanding of psychopathy is further limited by the fact that it is only applicable in the clinical identification of individual subjects, and the neuro-chemical/biological correction of those subjects after they are positively identified as psychopaths. On the other hand, an information processing model of moral cognition provides for wider-ranging applications. The theoretical and practical implications for such a feasible working model of psychopathic personalities are assessed. Finally, this chapter raises the possibility of directed modification of social-environmental factors (including at the meta-organizational level) discouraging the development of psychopathic personalities in the first place, modifications which are also open to simulation and testing in terms of the same model of moral cognition.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="771240fee9a76594375582848d984bf7" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":37213286,"asset_id":4845159,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/37213286/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="4845159"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="4845159"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 4845159;

Confronted with so many unanswered questions, researchers often operate under two distinct notions of autonomy, one associated with human and another with artificial agents.

It begins with biological nonreductionism as understood by Searle. It emphasizes the role of synthetic neurorobotics studies in accessing the dynamic structure essential to consciousness with a focus on system criticality and self. It develops a distinction between simulated and formal consciousness based on this emphasis, reviews Tani's and colleagues' work in light of this distinction, and ends by forecasting the increasing importance of synthetic neurorobotics studies for cognitive science and philosophy of mind going forward, finally in regards to most-and myth-consciousness.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="4ff7e2567cddef5985ec03fdc73b6a7f" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":55005610,"asset_id":34604976,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/55005610/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="34604976"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="34604976"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 34604976;

This first paper in a series of three begins with a brief review of Boltuc's (2009) " brain-‐based " thesis on the prospect of artificial consciousness, focusing on his formulation of h-‐ consciousness. We then explore some of the implications of brain research on the structure of consciousness, finding limitations in biological approaches to the study of consciousness. Looking past these limitations, we introduce research in artificial consciousness designed to test for the emergence of consciousness, a phenomenon beyond the purview of the study of existing biological systems.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="bb0b1854967b31a638ed3328f682a1f4" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":50976209,"asset_id":23394175,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/50976209/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="23394175"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="23394175"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 23394175; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=23394175]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=23394175]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 23394175; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='23394175']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (true){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "bb0b1854967b31a638ed3328f682a1f4" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=23394175]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":23394175,"title":"From biological to synthetic neurorobotics approaches to understanding the structure essential to consciousness.

Professional educators, policy-makers, parents and social activists concerned about the effects of technologies on development and well-being may benefit from reading this work, in addition to researchers in creativity, in abduction, and social-political philosophers and philosophers of science interested in the epistemology of discovery as influencing social transformation following Polanyi and Kuhn.  Published version hosted by Springer Nature and openly accessible at <a href="https://rdcu.be/c4F29" rel="nofollow">https://rdcu.be/c4F29</a></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="be6a1ae775a721418c19aaf17bb430c8" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":98076301,"asset_id":96076817,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/98076301/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="96076817"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="96076817"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 96076817;

Not big in the sense of page count or prepublication advertisement, but big in the sense of pregnant with potential application. Professor Magnani is explicit in his intentions, “to show how violence is de facto intertwined with morality, and how much violence is hidden, and invisibly or unintentionally performed” (page 273) while confessing a personal motivation, “warning myself (and every reader) that violence is traceable back to my (our) own door.” (page 66) This is not an easy task, given the slippery expanse of his subject, to drag violence out of the shadows, bringing it home to each personal purveyor. But Magnani succeeds, and fruitfully. Understanding Violence deftly exposes violence in its myriad forms from individual aggression to colliding global-historical narratives. It does this by detailing the processes whereby people act from moralities of their own creation, adopting various moral frameworks including those specific to religions, social and political groups, as well as personal constructs, and in terms of which “they engage and disengage both intentionally and unintentionally, in a strict interplay between morality and vio- lence.” (page 184) Resolving these complex dynamics through simple models and illustrations, Understanding Violence elevates the reader from the forest-for-the-trees perpetual-crisis-blindness symptomatic of the present era, to a position from which personal moral commitments as practical, as necessary, and as the source of hidden violence are clearly visible. Moreover, due to the practicality of Magnani’s demon- strations, it continues in this work long after the text itself is laid back on the shelf.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="e6394f5c5b8b9a8f8aa2b3ee0ef5987b" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":32129487,"asset_id":4845043,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/32129487/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="4845043"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="4845043"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 4845043;

This work considers Augustine on ensoulment alongside current work into self as adapted routines to common social regularities of the sort that Augustine found deficient. How can we account for such diversity of self-reported value orientation in terms of common structural dynamics differently developed, embodied and enacted over the life course? This work in progress represents divergent views as different sorts of error theory, and hypothesizes that differential development of spindle neural projections underlies different accounts of error for attentive self-correction through iterative attenuation. Some implications for AI augmentation and value alignment of autonomous agents developed on such a model are briefly entertained.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="fd4bab29e0504807f1fc7ae529f60495" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":110603556,"asset_id":113711583,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/110603556/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="113711583"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="113711583"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 113711583;

Current AI ethics guidelines are abstract and difficult to implement as practical moral concerns proliferate. They call for improvements in ethics course design, focusing on real-world cases and perspective-taking tools to immerse students in challenging situations with relatable personal, social and environmental implications. The present paper considers the ACTWith model of moral cognition for use in such training contexts. Morley and colleagues’ paper and contemporary literature are reviewed. Whistleblowing as a source for relatable case-studies is discussed, and the purpose of ethics education considered. The ACTWith model is introduced, and correlations with con- temporaries noted. The ACTWith model has been successfully employed in a broad range of technology ethics courses in the Netherlands and South Korea. Illustrations are offered. Correlations with contemporary efforts are drawn in the context of software engineering. Summary discussion considers strengths and limitations of the ACTWith program. Overall, the paper emphasizes training high-level moral reasoning through guided inquiry education informing lifetime professional practice, and indicates an outstanding need for teachers able to do the job.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="25b91a58347163b0dbbdf2aeae11ca63" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":111781272,"asset_id":107241805,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/111781272/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="107241805"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="107241805"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 107241805;

Complementary research portrays processes associated with self as multimodal routines selectively enacted on the basis of contextual cues informing predictive self or world models, with the notion of the constant, pervasive and invariant sense of self associated with a multistable attractor set aiming to ensure personal integrity against threat of disintegrative change. This paper proposes that an immutable sense of self emerges as a global attractor which can be described as a project ideal self-situation embodied in frontal medial processes during more or less normal adolescent development, and that thereafter serves to orient agency in the more or less free development of embodied potentials over the life course in effort to realize project conditions, phenomenally identified with the felt pull towards this end as purpose of and source of meaning in life. So oriented, life-long self-development aims to embody solutions to problems at different timescales depending on this embodied purpose, ultimately in the service of evolutionary processes securing organism populations against threats of disintegrative change over timespans far beyond that of the individual. After characterizing the target sense of self, research circling this target is briefly surveyed. Self as global project and developmental neural correlates are proposed. Then, the paper discusses some implications for research in biological and artificial systems. Building from earlier work in cognitive neurorobotics, discussion affirms the value of reinforcement rituals including prayer in metaphysical self-development, considers implications for value alignment and rights associated with free will in the context of artificial intelligence and robot religion, and concludes by emphasizing the importance of self-development toward project ideals as source of meaning in life in the current social-political environment.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="1f6cb57e78f0e5b951ee3d4317e61b3c" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":81240024,"asset_id":71807602,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/81240024/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="71807602"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="71807602"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 71807602;

Current research distinguishes between a pervasive subject “I” that represents an immutable, "metaphysical" sense of self that remains constant in the face of environmental change, and an object “me” that changes with its environment. Complementary research portrays processes associated with self as multimodal routines selectively enacted on the basis of contextual cues informing predictive self or world models, with the sense of a lasting, constant self considered in terms of a relatively fixed set of operationally specific goal states or attractors learned through iterative interaction with the world, also discussed in terms of personality development through experience. In effect, such views bundle local attractors, with the set associated with a constant subject. On all such views, the notion of the constant, pervasive and invariant sense of a self associated with the metaphysical self can be reduced to a more fundamental notion of such a multistable attractor set, context dependent but to some degree selective with the over-riding aim to ensure integrity against threat of disintegrative change. Though apparently consistent with some aspects of relevant systems neuroscience, phis paper proposes that a metaphysical “I” as an immutable sense of self and purpose in life may emerge as a global attractor which can be described as a project ideal self-situation embodied in frontal medial processes during more or less normal adolescent development, and that thereafter serves as a stable and constant orienting force influencing agency, effectively guiding the selective opening and closing to input information and to different operational contexts through life-long goal oriented learning in effort to realize project conditions. On this view, life-long development of situation appropriate routine capacities aims at solution of problems impeding progress towards evolutionary goals at different timescales, with the metaphysical self identified with the felt pull towards this end as embodied in developing highest-level neural processes. After characterizing the target sense of self, research circling this target is briefly surveyed, and global self project and corresponding developmental processes are proposed. The paper discusses some implications of the present view, offers an affirmation of private religion and reinforcement rituals including prayer in life-long metaphysical self-development, considers possible applications in artificial religion in general artificial intelligence, and concludes with a gesture towards the importance of clarifying self-development toward project ideals as source of meaning in life in the current social-political environment.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="010c5df9630271c2a18f953cb2c9207c" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":78371395,"asset_id":67620567,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/78371395/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="67620567"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="67620567"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 67620567;

However, different senses of self remain unresolved in natural systems, hindering progress in biologically inspired computational models. Recent work distinguishes between "me" and "I", locates "me" in layers of neurological activity, and challenges researchers to locate the "metaphysical 'I'" in the natural order, similarly. How might such a sense of self emerge in human beings, and what are the implications for AI research? This paper locates the "I" as a global project emerging through more or less normal adolescent development, and towards the realization of which neural processes associated with intermediate tasks grow, organize and are preferentially enacted. Discussion concludes by briefly noting implications for ongoing research into self in humans, in AI, their mutual value alignment and the relative moral status of systems engineered accordingly.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3683fd22736d8c27aef1338454068957" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":74020467,"asset_id":60690586,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/74020467/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="60690586"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="60690586"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 60690586;

This paper focuses on model dynamics analogous to those associated with self-consciousness in human beings. The first section surveys the field of cognitive robotics and identifies cognitive dynamics uniquely accessible to models of the sort that is the focus of the second section. The second section reviews experiments and interprets their results in the context of different senses of self, both "minimal" and the sense of "I" associated with narrative self. The third section assesses these experiments for their validity and notes the unique potential for such research to contribute to inquiry in the context of embodied social cognition and human interaction. The fourth section concludes with a brief look back and forward at research into self-developmental dynamics in cognitive neurorobots.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="750b0fea0cbaa5122d58fb1032ff5953" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":63085233,"asset_id":42848895,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/63085233/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="42848895"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="42848895"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 42848895;

Challenges for machine ethicists have also been presented by Anthony Beavers and Wendell Wallach. Beavers pushes for the reinvention of traditional ethics in order to avoid "ethical nihilism" due to the reduction of morality to mechanical causation. Wallach pushes for redoubled efforts toward a comprehensive account of ethics to guide machine ethicists on the issue of artificial moral agency. Options thus present themselves: reinterpret traditional ethics in a way that affords a comprehensive account of moral agency inclusive of both artificial and natural agents, or give up on the possibility and "muddle through" regardless. This series of papers pursues the first option, meets Tonkens' "challenge" and pursues Wallach's ends through Beavers' proposed means, by "landscaping" traditional moral theory in resolution of a comprehensive account of moral agency. This first paper establishes the challenge and sets out the tradition in terms of which an adequate solution should be assessed. The next paper in this series responds to the challenge in Kantian terms, and shows that a Kantian AMA is not only a possibility for Machine ethics research, but a necessary one.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="f6abefc8a6b8881c98ff7af3e02d692d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":61709183,"asset_id":41551330,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/61709183/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="41551330"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="41551330"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 41551330;

At that time, he advised that there was nothing "directly" to be done toward machines with human-‐like intelligence, and that practical research should aim at a symbiosis between human beings and computers with computers doing what they do best, processing discrete symbols in formally structured problem domains. Fast-‐forward five decades, and his emphasis on the difference between two essential modes of processing, the unconscious yet purposeful mode fundamental to situated human cognition, and the "minded" sense of conscious processing characterizing symbolic reasoning that seems to lend itself to explicit programming, continues into the famous Dreyfus-‐McDowell debate. The present retrospective reviews Dreyfus' early projections, asking if the fears that punctuate current popular commentary on AI are warranted, and in light of these if he would deliver similar practical advice to researchers today.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><a id="3ea44551d9320026d15a747f5da14a7d" class="wp-workCard--action" rel="nofollow" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-download" data-download="{"attachment_id":56099638,"asset_id":36050136,"asset_type":"Work","button_location":"profile"}" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/56099638/download_file?s=profile"><span><i class="fa fa-arrow-down"></i></span><span>Download</span></a><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="36050136"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="36050136"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 36050136;

WILL POST A NEW DRAFT SOON. Artificial intelligence and robotics figure prominently in research concerning the potential for human beings to meet challenges facing human civilization going forward. This paper briefly reviews three different long-‐standing programs in AI and robotics, from Luis Pereira and colleagues, Ron Sun and colleagues, and Jun Tani and colleagues, with a focus on the insights that each generates into the formation and stability of multi-‐agent systems. The paper argues that each informs and through this understanding potentially empowers human cooperation in different ways, such that if their respective insights were effectively integrated, and through this integration systematically put into practice, then the potential for human beings to cooperatively navigate current and anticipated existential risks might be maximized. The paper concludes by recommending that further research be selectively encouraged to this end. 1: Introduction: In 2005, Ron sun and colleagues proposed a four-‐level hierarchy for modeling cognition and social agency in redress of prior schema offered by Newell and Simon (1976), and Marr (1982). Whereas these predecessors focused on different levels of implementation within single cognitive agents, Sun and colleagues focused on different levels of analysis afforded at different levels of organization from individual to social collective (Sun, Coward and Zenzen, 2006). Their four levels include: first, inter-‐agent processes such as those under analysis in Pereira and colleagues' research briefly reviewed in section 2 below, extending too in the latter's case to evolutionary time-‐scales; second, agent level processes consisting of those psychological dynamics constitutive of individual agents (such as motivation and drive) contributing to social interaction such as those captured in Sun and colleagues' cognitive architecture Clarion especially, as briefly summarized in section 3 of this paper; third, intra-‐agent processes involving the communication and coordination between different specialized regions, for example circuits of information processing involving specialized modules also captured in Sun's work but perhaps more fundamentally explored in the dynamic systems approach of Jun Tani and colleagues; and lastly, physiological and physiochemical processes through which the biological agent ultimately operates and which are formally represented in Tani's work but that escape realistic representation in approaches which articulate higher levels of organization. On Sun et al.'s (2005) account, the integration of different levels of cognitive modeling are necessary to improve the accuracy and predictive power of social simulations. Likewise, the aim of the following review is to assess the potential for and to encourage the integration of models such as these at different levels of organization to contribute to large-‐scale psychologically realistic social system simulations facilitating proactive management of crises, both by informing leadership on necessary system-‐level changes as well as by informing individual constituents of appropriate preparations at the agent level in facilitating cooperative, non-‐coercive, non-‐violent transitions through changes in institutional structures demanded by changing social-‐political and natural-‐</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="35791473"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="35791473"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 35791473; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=35791473]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=35791473]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 35791473; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='35791473']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=35791473]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":35791473,"title":"role of AI and robotics evolution submission draft.pdf","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/35791473/role_of_AI_and_robotics_evolution_submission_draft_pdf","owner_id":2654119,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"owner":{"id":2654119,"first_name":"jeff","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"white","page_name":"jeffwhite","domain_name":"unl-pt","created_at":"2012-10-15T13:20:03.082-07:00","display_name":"jeff white","url":"https://unl-pt.academia.edu/jeffwhite"},"attachments":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="31685117"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/31685117/white_conscience_pdf"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of white conscience.pdf" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/52004080/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/31685117/white_conscience_pdf">white conscience.pdf</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Conscience:mechanism of morality book manuscript last updated in 2009.

In the following paper, we will first explore the motivating rationale behind the construction of such large-scale physical-psycho-social simulations as those posited by Bostrom. I will argue that the main reason for pursuing this technology is not "ancestor simulation" but is rather for use as a predictive tool. Then, we will look at current work from Ron Sun in the field currently emerging and from within which such simulations as Bostrom's - should they be built at all - will be built in the future. Sun advocates for a "grounding" of the social sciences in the cognitive sciences, and suggests that the future of the social sciences may lay in the work of this integration. We will find long-standing philosophical interest in tools of this nature, useful in a special industry, that of Aristotle's "statesman", a philosophical mission recalled by E.O. Wilson in the 1990s. In this context, the paper will close suggesting that philosophy may find its future at least in part in the directed development of technological tools for the eradication of self-extinction level threats to human civilization.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="8571518"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="8571518"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 8571518; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=8571518]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=8571518]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 8571518; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='8571518']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-a9bf3a2bc8c89fa2a77156577594264ee8a0f214d74241bc0fcd3f69f8d107ac.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=8571518]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":8571518,"title":"SEE Simulation, self-extinction...
