Some sceptics think they are little more than tools and should be treated as such. Some are more bullish on their potential to attain full moral status. Is there some middle ground? In this episode, I talk to Paula Sweeney about this possibility. Paula defends a position she calls 'fictional dualism' about social robots. This allows us to relate to social robots in creative, human-like ways, without necessarily ascribing them moral status or rights. Paula is a philosopher based in the University of Aberdeen, Scotland. She has a background in the philosophy of language (which we talk about a bit) but has recently turned her attentio n to applied ethics of technology. She is currently writing a book about social robots.</p> <p>You download the episode <a href="https://ia601506.us.archive.org/30/items/paula-sweeney-robots-16-12-2022-08.38/Paula%20Sweeney%20-%20Robots%20-%2016%3A12%3A2022%2C%2008.38.mp3">here</a>, or listen below.
