Robot Rights? Let’s talk about Human Welfare instead

Today Abeba Birhane and I tweeted out our paper on Robot Rights (and why we think the whole idea makes no sense). I am just posting it here so you can find it again if you need it.

Preprint for our paper ‘Robot Right? Let’s Talk about Human Welfare Instead’ is up on arXiv https://t.co/wcW9ylAUiF. @theblub & I argue not just to deny robots ‘rights’, but to deny that robots are the kinds of things that could be granted rights in the first place. 1/ pic.twitter.com/Rc6gcnd0h7
