“…Research related to the beneficence principle mostly stems from the areas of ethical computing and AI ethics, which focus on discussing foundational ethical themes (e.g., general ethics frameworks) (Floridi 2019;Floridi and Cowls 2019;Floridi et al 2018;Hagendorff 2020) and how to embed values that promote wellbeing into AI at the design and development stages (de Swarte et al 2019). From an IS perspective, the beneficence principle demands organizations to consider, for example, the environment (e.g., being sustainable and environmentally friendly when using computing resources to deploy AI) as well as the societal impact of AI services and products offered (e.g., embedding AI-based chatbots that truly support consumers instead of only gathering further consumer data).…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) brings forth many opportunities to contribute to the wellbeing of individuals and the advancement of economies and societies, but also a variety of novel ethical, legal, social, and technological challenges. Trustworthy AI (TAI) bases on the idea that trust builds the foundation of societies, economies, and sustainable development, and that individuals, organizations, and societies will therefore only ever be able to realize the full potential of AI, if trust can be established in its development, deployment, and use. With this article we aim to introduce the concept of TAI and its five foundational principles (1) beneficence, (2) non-maleficence, (3) autonomy, (4) justice, and (5) explicability. We further draw on these five principles to develop a data-driven research framework for TAI and demonstrate its utility by delineating fruitful avenues for future research, particularly with regard to the distributed ledger technology-based realization of TAI.

“…These “hunt and gather” robots rarely interact with patients or families and allow more time for the nurse to spend at the bedside with patients and families. In addition, some robots, such as Robear, lift people in a safe manner and alleviate the physical toll imposed on nurses required to lift multiple patients several times per day (De Swarte, Boufous, & Escalle, 2018).…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) and AI care robots are rapidly changing the healthcare landscape in part because of the growing physical, intellectual and emotional demands of nursing as well as technological advances. As technology becomes more advanced, efficient, and economical, opportunities and pressure to introduce AI into nursing care will only increase. Under these conditions, there is an urgent need to consider principles according to which interventions ought to be provided by a human or AI devices. Nurses have traditionally been regarded as clinicians that deliver compassionate, safe, and empathetic health care (Brenan, 2018). Caring is a fundamental characteristic, expectation, and moral obligation of the nursing and caregiving professions and, thus once the caregiver-patient relationship has been created, there exists a moral obligation and to care for patients (American Nurses Association, 2015). Along with caring, nurses are expected to undertake ever-expanding duties and complex tasks. Nurses are responsible for collecting data, determining diagnoses, making nursing care plans, executing care

“…Robots raise intrinsic (to the system itself) and systemic (broader social impacts) ethical issues (Hicks and Simmons 2019;Lin et al 2012;Operto 2011;Robertson et al 2019;Gunkel 2012;Amigoni and Schiaffonati 2018;Waldheuser 2018). Such ethical challenges become more evident in concrete scenarios, especially when robotics and autonomous systems are entrusted to take life and death decisions (Karnouskos 2020c;de Swarte et al 2019). The question is if machines should abide by an ethical code, and of their decisions are to follow ethical principles, moral values, codes conduct, and social norms that humans would follow in similar situations (Rossi 2016;Robertson et al 2019;Karnouskos 2020b).…”

The rapid advances in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics will have a profound impact on society as they will interfere with the people and their interactions. Intelligent autonomous robots, independent if they are humanoid/anthropomorphic or not, will have a physical presence, make autonomous decisions, and interact with all stakeholders in the society, in yet unforeseen manners. The symbiosis with such sophisticated robots may lead to a fundamental civilizational shift, with far-reaching effects as philosophical, legal, and societal questions on consciousness, citizenship, rights, and legal entity of robots are raised. The aim of this work is to understand the broad scope of potential issues pertaining to law and society through the investigation of the interplay of law, robots, and society via different angles such as law, social, economic, gender, and ethical perspectives. The results make it evident that in an era of symbiosis with intelligent autonomous robots, the law systems, as well as society, are not prepared for their prevalence. Therefore, it is now the time to start a multi-disciplinary stakeholder discussion and derive the necessary policies, frameworks, and roadmaps for the most eminent issues.
