Sven Nyholm on "A new control problem? Humanoid robots, artificial intelligence, and the value of control"

Sven Nyholm is an associate professor at the Ethics Institute of Utrecht University. His main areas of research are applied ethics (especially the ethics of technology), ethical theory, and the history of ethics. Nyholm’s research covers a wide range of topics in ethics, including well-being and meaning in life, the philosophy of love and sex, agency and moral responsibility, the concept of the self, and the ethics of human-robot interaction.  In this episode, Bouke van Balen interviews Sven on the topic of robot-ethics. The backbone of their discussion is a paper Sven recently published: "A new control problem? Humanoid robots, artificial intelligence, and the value of control." You can find it here.
