The Nature and Motivation of Human Cooperation from Variant Public Goods Games
Comparing Norm-Based and Role-Based Strategies for Robot Communication of Role-Grounded Moral Norms
Because robots are perceived as moral agents, they must behave in accordance with human systems of morality. This responsibility is especially acute for language-capable robots because moral communication is a method for building moral ecosystems. Language capable robots must not only make sure that what they say adheres to moral norms; they must also actively engage in moral communication to regulate and encourage human compliance with those nor…

Constructing a role ethics approach to engineering ethics education
This paper is concerned with the gap between the ideology of 'autonomous individualism' deeply embedded in Western-centric engineering ethics education and the social and relational nature of engineering practice. The so-called 'individualistic approach' to engineering ethics often treats students as fully rational and autonomous individual decision-makers. Such an approach mainly emphasizes teaching students moral reasoning skills, including the…
