Germany and Japan are two of the worldwide leading countries in robotics research. Robotics as a key technology introduces technical as well as philosophical and cultural challenges. How can we use robots that have a human-like appearance in everyday life? Are there limits to technology? What are the cultural similarities and differences between Germany and Japan? These are some of the questions which are discussed in the book. Five chapters comprehend an intercultural and interdisciplinary framework including current research fields like Roboethics, Hermeneutics of Technologies, Technology Assessment, Robotics in Japanese Popular Culture and Music Robots. Contributions on cultural interrelations, technical visions and essays round out the content of this book.

Was ist die Ethik der Roboter? Was ist KI-Ethik? Was sind „moralische Maschinen“? Welchen Gesetzen sollen sie folgen? Haben wir die Roboter, die wir brauchen, und brauchen wir die Roboter, die wir haben?In vorliegendem Buch werden Grundlagen der Ethik im Umgang mit Robotern, Drohnen und KI allgemeinverständlich dargestellt. Hierzu zählt die Unterscheidung von Moral, Ethik und Ethos sowie deren Anwendung auf Menschen und Maschinen. Kriterien, Fehlschlüsse und Robotergesetze werden vorgestellt, wie auch in die umfassende Gegenwartsdebatte übersichtlich eingeführt. Grafiken und Beispiele bieten Orientierung in einem hochaktuellen und komplexen Feld.Als methodische Einführung richtet sich vorliegendes Buch an Ingenieurwissenschaftler*innen, Informatiker*innen und Geisteswissenschaftler*innen im Berufsalltag, aber auch an interessierte Lai*innen, die Grundlagen der Ethik kennen lernen wollen. Es bildet den ersten, in sich abgerundeten Teil der Buchreihe Grundlagen der Technikethik.Mit einem Geleitwort von Yvonne Hofstetter.

Es bildet den zweiten, in sich abgerundeten Teil der Buchreihe Grundlagen der Technikethik. Haben wir die Technik, die wir brauchen, und brauchen wir die Technik, die wir haben?

Welche Wirkungen haben Robotik und Künstliche Intelligenz (KI) auf die Gesellschaft? Es bildet den dritten, in sich abgerundeten Teil der Buchreihe Grundlagen derTechnikethik. Haben wir die Zukunft, die wir brauchen, und brauchen wir die Zukunft, die wir haben?

Es bildet den vierten, in sich abgerundeten Teil der Buchreihe Grundlagen der Technikethik. Haben Maschinen den Geist, den wir brauchen, und brauchen wir den Geist, in dem wir Maschinen designen?

Künstliche Intelligenz ist zum vielschichtigen Gegenstand ethischer Debatten geworden. Ob Richtlinien fairer Digitalisierung und vertrauenswürdiger Algorithmen, Gestaltung nachhaltiger Geschäftsmodelle, informatische Grundbildung in Schulen oder Existenzfragen freiheitlich-demokratischer Gesellschaften – KI-Ethik steht vor komplexen Herausforderungen. Grundsätzlicher Klärungsbedarf entsteht durch die verschiedenen Zugänge, Interessen und Begrifflichkeiten, die aufeinandertreffen. Vorliegendes essential präsentiert auf zugängliche Weise wissenschaftliches Überblickswissen zur KI-Ethik. Als praktische Orientierungshilfe im komplexen Terrain dient eine thematische Topographie, einschließlich zentraler Begriffe. Zusammenhänge zwischen Industrie 5.0, Regulierung, Post- und Transhumanismus, selbstfahrenden Autos, moralischen Maschinen, nachhaltiger Digitalisierung oder dem Anthropozän werden mit Blick auf KI-Ethik systematisch sichtbar gemacht.
