On the ethical challenges raised by robots powered by Artificial Intelligence

The integration of generative AI into robot systems has the potential to boost several industries by enabling robots to understand their environments, create courses of action, and autonomously react to complex situations. However, the adoption of generative AI techniques brings about profound ethical concerns that need to be addressed to ensure the responsible development and deployment of such technologies. In this talk, I will explore the multifaceted ethical challenges associated with generative AI-powered robots, focusing on issues such as robot autonomy, decision-making, accountability of robot actions, and their impact on humans and society as a whole.
