Abstract

Ethics researches morality in respect to humans and animals. Usually, it implies human morality; therefore, the focus is on human---human relationships (generally in ethics) and human---animal relationships (in animal ethics). Ethics can also deal with the morality of machines such as unmanned aerial vehicles, robots and agents or of self-driving cars and computers in automated trading, in other words more or less autonomous systems and programs. Machine ethics almost exclusively concentrates on machine---human relationships rather than on machine---animal relationships. Before this background, this article contributes some basic considerations about the relationship between animal and machine ethics.
