Simultaneously, advances in robotics technology, consumer electronics, and telehealth are progressing to the point that some tasks associated with eldercare can be addressed via technological solutions and may continue to advance to the point that more and more caregiving services required by the elderly in need may be automated and provided by robots. Such robots are referred to in the literature and in industry as carebots. Carebots can provide a number of benefits to the elderly and could help address a potential gap between the number of licensed caregivers available and the number of people requiring caregiving services. In recent years, ethics literature has debated potential ethical and moral concerns about carebot technology. However, consensus on what (if anything) should be done about carebots is lacking. Should carebots be heavily regulated, or even banned outright? Or are carebots a beneficial technology that should be embraced, even preferred over human caregiving? This paper explores the state of the art of carebot technology and where it may progress in the future, summarizing and addressing some of the ethical concerns about carebots and making recommendations for the present and near future use of carebot technology for providing care for the elderly.}, booktitle={Trust in Human-Robot Interactions}, publisher={Academic Press/Elsevier}, author={Coin, A. and Dubljević, V.}, editor={Nam, C.S. and Lyons, J.Editors}, year={2021}, pages={553–569} } @article{ouchchy_coin_dubljevic_2020, title={AI in the headlines: the portrayal of the ethical issues of artificial intelligence in the media}, volume={35}, ISSN={["1435-5655"]}, DOI={10.1007/s00146-020-00965-5}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={4}, journal={AI & SOCIETY}, author={Ouchchy, Leila and Coin, Allen and Dubljevic, Veljko}, year={2020}, month={Dec}, pages={927–936} } @article{coin_mulder_dubljevic_2020, title={Ethical Aspects of BCI Technology: What Is the State of the Art?}, volume={5}, url={https://www.mdpi.com/2409-9287/5/4/31}, DOI={10.3390/philosophies5040031}, abstractNote={Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) technology is a promising research area in many domains. Brain activity can be interpreted through both invasive and non-invasive monitoring devices, allowing for novel, therapeutic solutions for individuals with disabilities and for other non-medical applications. However, a number of ethical issues have been identified from the use of BCI technology. In this paper, we review the academic discussion of the ethical implications of BCI technology in the last five years. We conclude that some emerging applications of BCI technology—including commercial ventures that seek to meld human intelligence with AI—present new and unique ethical concerns. Further, we seek to understand how academic literature on the topic of BCIs addresses these novel concerns. Similar to prior work, we use a limited sample to identify trends and areas of concern or debate among researchers and ethicists. From our analysis, we identify two key areas of BCI ethics that warrant further research: the physical and psychological effects of BCI technology. Additionally, questions of BCI policy have not yet become a frequent point of discussion in the relevant literature on BCI ethics, and we argue this should be addressed in future work. We provide guiding questions that will help ethicists and policy makers grapple with the most important issues associated with BCI technology.}, number={4}, journal={Philosophies}, publisher={MDPI AG}, author={Coin, Allen and Mulder, Megan and Dubljevic, Veljko}, year={2020}, month={Oct}, pages={31} } @article{coin_dubljević_2020, title={The Authenticity of Machine-Augmented Human Intelligence: Therapy, Enhancement, and the Extended Mind}, volume={10}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12152-020-09453-5}, DOI={10.1007/s12152-020-09453-5}, number={2}, journal={Neuroethics}, publisher={Springer Science and Business Media LLC}, author={Coin, Allen and Dubljević, Veljko}, year={2020}, month={Oct}, pages={283–290} }
