Notes: I am a lecturer in the School of Philosophy and Bioethics at Monash University in Australia. One of my research interests is the ethical issues raised by advanced robotics and AI. I'm interested in the philosophical implications of taking seriously some of the more ambitious claims made for robots and AI.

I have published several papers in the area, with more forthcoming. My publications on these topics to date are:

"Killer Robots", forthcoming, Journal of Applied Philosophy.

"The Turing Triage Test", Ethics and Information Technology. Vol 6. No. 4 (2004), pp. 203-213.

"The March of the Robot Dogs", Ethics and Information Technology, Vol. 4. No. 4 (2002), pp. 305-318.

"Androids" in Mitcham, Carl (ed.) 2005. Encyclopedia of Science, Technology, and Ethics. Detroit: Macmillan Reference USA.

"Robots" in Mitcham, Carl (ed.) 2005. Encyclopedia of Science, Technology, and Ethics. Detroit: Macmillan Reference USA.

I'm happy to email these to people who are interested, if you can't find them in the original publication.

My current research is on the ethics of the use of robots in aged care.
