Description

Artificial Morality: Virtuous Robots for Virtual Games by Peter Danielson explores the role of artificial intelligence in shaping moral principles. The author builds moral robots that outperform amoral competitors in games like the Prisoners Dilemma and Chicken, challenging current theories on rational choice. Drawing on the work of Gauthier and McClennan, who incorporate moral constraint into their devices, Danielson's book promotes communication, testing, and copying of principles. Through empirical tests, Artificial Morality examines the adequacy of received theory and offers a new perspective on morality as person-made and rational.
