“…Other studies have found similar effects (Marin, A et al 2013;Kiesler & Goetz 2002) There are several reasons to doubt whether the tendency to anthropomorphise can cover the alleged retribution gap. If all we care about is whether the desire for retribution is fulfilled, then by all means we can take advantage of this tendency to anthropomorphise.…”

We are living through an era of increased robotisation. Some authors have already begun to explore the impact of this robotisation on legal rules and practice. In doing so, many highlight potential liability gaps that might arise through robot misbehaviour. Although these gaps are interesting and socially significant, they do not exhaust the possible gaps that might be created by increased robotisation. In this article, I make the case for one of those alternative gaps: the retribution gap. This gap arises from a mismatch between the human desire for retribution and the absence of appropriate subjects of retributive blame. I argue for the potential existence of this gap in an era of increased robotisation; suggest that it is much harder to plug this gap than it is to plug those thus far explored in the literature; and then highlight three important social implications of this gap.

“…Large pupil sizes and slow eye blinking frequency make avatars look more sociable and attractive (Weibel, Stricker, Wissmath, & Mast, 2010). Older avatars are perceived by adult users as being more intelligent and safer (Marin, Jo, & Lee, 2013). Attractive and more elaborated avatars have more successful social interactions (Banakou, Chorianopoulos, & Anagnostou, 2009), and even receive more favorable ratings in virtual employment interviews (Behrend, Toaddy, Thompson, & Sharek, 2012).…”
