In addition, while it is dementia, there is need for professional caregivers. Assistive robots in the interests of the care-giver to ensure that the cared-for is given have been proposed as a solution to this, as they can assist people sufficient care (such as ensuring hygiene is maintained, and that both physically and socially. However, caregivers often need to use cared-for are safe) delusions from cognitive decline may conflict acts of deception (such as misdirection or white lies) in order to with these needs and cause distress. These equally would lead to ensure necessary care is provided while limiting negative impacts care-givers potentially using techniques that are in some way acts on the cared-for such as emotional distress or loss of dignity.

Hosted by Ben Byford, The Machine Ethics Podcast brings together interviews with academics, authors, business leaders, designers and engineers on the subject of autonomous algorithms, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and technology's impact on society. This episode we talk with Mark Coeckelbergh about AI as a story about machines and where are we heading in creating human level intelligence, moral standing and robot-animal interfaces, technology determinism, environmental impacts of robots and AI, energy budgets, politics and AI, self-regulation and global governance for global issues. Mark Coeckelbergh is Professor of Philosophy of Media and Technology at the University of Vienna and author of more than 15 books including AI Ethics (MIT Press), The Political Philosophy of AI (Polity Press), and Introduction to Philosophy of Technology (Oxford University Press). Previously he was Vice Dean of the Faculty of Philosophy and Education, and President of the Society for Philosophy and Technology (SPT). He is also involved in policy advise, for example he was member of the High Level Expert Group on AI of the European Commission.

The philosopher Mark Coeckelbergh has long been dealing with the development of intelligent machines and their effects on concepts of humanity, societal transformation and the ideology of the trans- and posthuman. His recent book AI Ethics (MIT Press, 2020) provides a survey of the most pressing moral questions opened up by these developments. Should we simply enjoy the new liberties generated by AI as future offers without any alternative? Where does selflessness end with respect to the machinic "other," and where should deliberations about a "trustworthy" AI start? Questions like these are tackled by Coeckelbergh in the following interview.
