- Authors: J\'ulia Pareto Boada, Bego\~na Rom\'an Maestre and Carme Torras
- Abstract summary: Social robotics development for the practice of care and European prospects to incorporate these AI-based systems in institutional healthcare contexts call for an urgent ethical reflection.
Despite the growing attention to the ethical implications of social robotics, the current debate on one of its central branches, social assistive robotics (SAR), rests upon an impoverished ethical approach.
This paper presents and examines some tendencies of this prevailing approach, which have been identified as a result of a critical literature review.

- Abstract: Social robotics development for the practice of care and European prospects
to incorporate these AI-based systems in institutional healthcare contexts call
for an urgent ethical reflection to (re)configurate our practical life
according to human values and rights. Despite the growing attention to the
ethical implications of social robotics, the current debate on one of its
central branches, social assistive robotics (SAR), rests upon an impoverished
ethical approach. This paper presents and examines some tendencies of this
prevailing approach, which have been identified as a result of a critical
literature review. Based on this analysis of a representative case of how
ethical reflection is being led towards social robotics, some future research
lines are outlined, which may help reframe and deepen in its ethical
implications.

The concept of ethical sensitivity has been widely studied in healthcare, business, and other domains.
It appears to have received little to no attention within the robotics community, even though choices in the design and deployment of robots are likely to have profound ethical impacts on society.
We conducted a qualitative exploration of the ethical sensitivity of a sample of Ph.D. students in robotics using case vignettes that exemplified ethical tensions in disaster robotics.

Benchmarks are seen as the cornerstone for measuring technical progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research.
An increasingly prominent research area in AI is ethics, which currently has no set of benchmarks nor commonly accepted way for measuring the 'ethicality' of an AI system.
We argue that it makes more sense to talk about 'values' rather than 'ethics' when considering the possible actions of present and future AI systems.
