◇Abstract
While social robots have been penetrating society in recent years, ethical issues have been pointed out, such as the excessive emotional impact of their statements and behavior on users. In this research meeting, we will critically examine the debates on agency in the philosophy of technology and AI ethics, and then discuss with participants the philosophical question of how we should understand and design an artificially created “agency.”
