My goal is to compare two different types of artificial social agents, not on the basis of whether they are more or less “social” or “intelligent”, but on that of the different ways in which they are embodied, or made present in the world. One type may be called ‘true robots’. That is, machines that are three dimensional physical objects, with three required characteristics: individuality, environmental manipulation and mobility in physical space. The other type may be defined as "analytic agents", for example ‘bots’ and ‘apps’, which in social contexts can act in the world only when embedded in complex systems that include heterogeneous technologies. These two ways of being in the world are quite different from each other, and also from the way human persons are present. This difference in ways of embodiment, which is closely related to the agents’ vulnerability and ability to learn, conditions in part the way artificial agents can interact with humans, and therefore it has major consequences for the ethics (and politics) of these technologies.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Analytic artificial agents,Embodiment,Ethics,HRI,Persons,Real robots,Social robots,Synthetic ethics,Vulnerability}, file = {/home/paul/Zotero/storage/KPW5VBDF/dumouchel.2023.pdf} } % == BibLateX quality report for dumouchel.2023: % ?

This, however, is no longer the case. Scientific developments, such as genetic engineering, stem-cell research, cloning, the Human Genome Project, new paleontological evidence, and the rise of neuropsychology call into question the very notion of human being and thus require a new conceptual map for ethical judgment. The contours of this map may be seen to emerge in works of science fiction (SF), which not only vividly dramatize the implications and consequences of new technologies and discoveries, but also exert a powerful influence on culture, creating a feedback loop of images and ideas. This essay focuses on three SF topoi: the human/animal evolutionary boundary; non-biological subjectivity (AI); and the human/alien interaction. It explores each of these topoi in a selection of SF texts, including novels by H. G. Wells, Olaf Stapledon, Stephen Baxter, William Gibson, Stanislaw Lem and others, showing how the boundaries of humanity are expanded and then exploded through the radical subversion of the tenets of liberal humanism.}, file = {/home/paul/Zotero/storage/7EWSP7UV/gomel.2011.pdf} } % == BibLateX quality report for gomel.2011: % Unexpected field 'publisher' % ?
