Draw-ing from the Confucian classic The Analects, it will consider what ethical precepts could be incorporated into robot morality. It will also contrast Kantian AMAs, Utilitarian AMAs, and Confucian AMAs to decide the strength and weakness of each model. The paper’s thesis is that robots should be constructed with certain virtues highlighted in Confucian virtue ethics. With the Confucian moral codes built in, their functional ethics can qualify them as moral agents, albeit artificial.engGlobethics PublicationsAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Confucian ethicsrobotsartificial moral agentsVirtue ethicsEthics of artificial intelligence/machine learningCyberethics/Information and Communication Technology ICTReligious ethicsBook chapter
