Abstract

This paper discusses the possibility and implication of ethical computers. A survey of past views is given. Various concepts considered important conceptions of ethics is discussed. The notion of agency and its importance to morality is covered. The consequences of their being ethical computers is examined. A Universal Declaration of Computer Rights is proposed and discussed.
