The case for virtuous robots

Is it possible to build virtuous robots? And is a good idea? In this paper in machine ethics, I offer positive answer both questions. Although moral architectures based on deontology and utilitarianism have been most often considered, argue that virtue ethics approach may ultimately be more promising program artificial agents (AMA). The basic idea robot should behave as person would (or recommend). Now, with the help of learning technology, conceivable get an AMA learn from exemplars. To support my claim, sketch steps building such robot, using thought experiment programming autonomous car facing trolley-like dilemma situation. It appears that, at least certain contexts, can provide its own original solution. then give four reasons favor it. Not only are robots technically feasible, but they advantage over their deontological utilitarian counterparts fostering normative consensus between these schools, improving social acceptability, beginning address technical challenge perception.
