Éthique de la robotique

Definition

Éthique de la robotique, or Robotics Ethics, refers to the study of moral principles and guidelines for designing, using, and interacting with robots. It involves considering ethical implications such as privacy concerns, safety issues, and social impact when developing robotic technologies.

Analogy

Think of robotics ethics as creating rules for robots just like we have rules for ourselves. Just like how we follow certain moral principles in our actions towards others, robotics ethics guides us in ensuring that robots behave ethically towards humans.
