My research interest is in Artificial Moral Agency. Automated self-driving vehicles, package delivery drones, and assisted-living care givers are just a few examples. I am researching what would be the necessary and sufficient conditions for an autonomous artificial agent to exhibit morally acceptable behaviour .
