Robots in elder care, robot nannies, virtual companions, chatbots, robotic weapons systems, autonomous cars, etc. are examples of some of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems currently undergoing research and development. These kinds of systems usually need to engage in complex interactions with humans. To ensure that these systems will not violate the rights of human being and also will carry out only ethical actions (i.e., actions that follow ethical norms of the community in which they are deployed), a combination of AI and ethics has become mandatory. This is the subject for a newly emerging interdisciplinary field known under the name of Machine Ethics.
