A computer ethics bibliography

摘要

Section 5.1 lists sources that raise ethical and social issues in Virtual Reality. (While this topic has not received widespread treatment in the computer ethics literature, I believe that ethical issues arising li'om the use of virtual-reality-teclmology warrant carefi~l examination.) Section 5.2 includes sources that identify moral issues in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Expert Systems. Although several of the entries in this section have come to be identified with theoretical aspects of symbolic AI, neural networks, and expert systems, these sources also address many ethical and social concerns that arise out of AI. For example, some of these works address the question whether the goals of AI are "proper" or ethical. Other works raise questions about the locus of moral responsibility for decisions made by expert systems. Section 5.3 contains sources that exmnine AI and expert systems lirom the vmltagepoints of robotics, income, and employment.
