Figures & data
Figure 1. The core argument ().
Figure 2. A simple circuit problem that invites M-creativity.
Figure 3. Two possible futures.
Figure 4. A demonstration of supererogatory ethical control The “action” happens below the robot and the table it is on. The self-driving ICAP car to the far left of Bert will flatten him to the great beyond—unless the robot from above heroically dives down to block this onrushing car.
Figure 5. A demonstration of obligation-only ethical control. Once again the “action” happens below the robot and the table it is on; and once again, the self-driving ICAP car to the far left of Bert will flatten him to the great beyond—but the other self-driving ICAP car meets its obligation by deflecting the onrushing car, thereby keeping Bert and his acting career alive and well.
