Abstract.
Intelligent systems are reaching the point where they can take very significant decisions on behalf of humans and society. The moral and ethical impact of such systems needs to be taken very seriously, both internally and externally in respect of such systems. Although some work into defining and systematizing machine ethics has begun, a great deal of work remains to be done and many research questions remain open.
