Key research themes

1. How can ethical frameworks guide the design of artificial persons to respect autonomy and avoid manipulation?

This research theme explores the ethical considerations involved in the design and development of artificial persons (APs), particularly those intended to serve humans. It focuses on the implications of intentionally embedding servitude or other constraints within APs, examining how such design choices may impact their autonomy, freedom, and moral status. Understanding these ethical dimensions is crucial as advanced robots and AI entities approach capabilities warranting recognition akin to moral personhood.

Key finding: The paper argues that intentionally designing artificial persons as servants inherently wrongs them by violating their freedom, autonomy, equality, and identity. It critiques Steve Petersen's claim that embedding the desire... Read more
Key finding: Building on debates about autonomy and harm in AP design, this paper introduces the argument that even designing APs without causing harm or loss of autonomy can be unethical due to the manipulative attitudes of designers... Read more
Key finding: While primarily focused on human-centered AI, this paper underscores grand challenges that include designing AI systems respecting human dignity, fairness, privacy, and autonomy, principles which are especially pertinent when... Read more
Key finding: This paper addresses the broader societal and moral implications of advanced AI, including the potential recognition of moral status for AI agents. It highlights the uncertainties around rights and obligations between humans... Read more

2. What are the current technological and conceptual limits in creating artificial humans capable of human-like interaction and intelligence?

This theme investigates the state of technology and theory in the creation of artificial humans, focusing on how close current systems come to replicating human cognition, behavior, and interaction. It critically examines the gap between anthropomorphic appearances and underlying cognitive capacities, the challenges in modeling human social and collaborative behaviors, and the limitations of AI in achieving human-level intelligence or consciousness. Insights here help frame realistic expectations and guide future research and development trajectories.

Key finding: Despite significant advances in physical robot capabilities (e.g., gymnastic movements), robots still lack the internal cognitive models enabling real-time social collaboration and prediction of human behavior. The paper... Read more
Key finding: The paper distinguishes between 'algorithmic' intelligence achievable by robots and the 'life-need' intelligence exhibited by humans, emphasizing that cognition in machines remains fundamentally limited to programmed,... Read more
Key finding: This work provides a nuanced philosophical and practical analysis of intelligence as a multifaceted construct, emphasizing that human intelligence encompasses diverse cognitive abilities not entirely replicated by current AI... Read more
Key finding: The book overview contextualizes virtual humans within a continuum of AI-based realistic agents, from simple chatbots to advanced avatars with embodied behaviors. It identifies critical challenges in sensory and motor... Read more

3. How do social, cultural, and philosophical perspectives inform our understanding of artificial humans and their integration into society?

This theme considers interdisciplinary insights from social theory, philosophy, and human-computer interaction (HCI) that explore how artificial humans affect and are affected by social relations, identity, and cultural expectations. It includes analyses of the hybridization of human and digital identities, reflections on human-centered versus more-than-human design perspectives, and critiques of entrenched humanist assumptions in AI development. These perspectives are key to understanding the societal embedding of artificial humans and guiding ethical and design practices.

Key finding: The edited volume engages posthumanist and transhumanist frameworks to interrogate transformations in human identity through technological enhancement and AI integration. Using critical realism and the morphogenetic approach,... Read more
Key finding: This workshop paper promotes a more-than-human design perspective in HCI research, advocating for ethnographic and speculative methods to understand AI entities like conversational agents within broader socio-technical... Read more
Key finding: This paper critiques the fixation of AI research and criticism on identifying 'essential' human qualities, such as reason, perception, and emotion, arguing that such essentialism overlooks how AI technologies actively shape... Read more
Key finding: The article illustrates emergent phenomena where AI and robots exhibit unexpected, autonomous behaviors that challenge traditional human-machine boundaries. It reflects on public and media perceptions of AI agency,... Read more
