Exploring the Ethical Dimensions of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in Dental Education

Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics have revolutionized healthcare, particularly dentistry. Their integration in dental education offers opportunities to enhance learning, diagnostics, treatment planning, and patient care. However, ethical implications must be addressed to ensure responsible and ethical integration of these technologies. This review explores AI and robotics in dental education and highlights the associated ethical considerations. These technologies provide improved learning experiences and simulations. Intelligent tutoring systems offer personalized feedback, virtual reality simulations enable practice in a safe environment, and AI algorithms aid in analysing radiographic images. Despite their potential, ethical challenges arise, including data privacy, autonomy, equity, and professional integrity. Addressing these challenges requires transparency, informed consent, bias detection, and accountability. Dental curricula should in-corporate ethics, fostering collaborations between educators and AI/robotics experts. Professional development programs should prioritize ethics training, considering emerging technologies such as AI-powered learning and diagnostic assistance. By embracing ethical considerations, AI and robotics can be integrated in dental education guided by transparency, accountability, privacy, and patient-centric care. A comprehensive understanding of the ethical dimensions is essential to harness the transformative potential of AI and robotics while upholding ethical standards in dental education.

The conductor model of consciousness, our neuromorphic twins, and the human-AI deal

AbstractCritics of Artificial Intelligence (AI) posit that artificial agents cannot achieve consciousness even in principle, because they lack certain necessary pre-conditions present in biological agents. Here we highlight arguments from a neuroscientific and neuromorphic engineering perspective as to why such a strict denial of consciousness in artificial agents is not compelling. Based on the construction of a co-evolving neuromorphic twin, we argue that the differences between a developing biological and artificial brain are not fundamental and are vanishing with progress in neuromorphic architecture designs mimicking the human blueprint. To characterise this blueprint, we propose the Conductor Model of Consciousness (CMoC) that builds on neuronal implementations of an external and internal world model, while gating and labelling information flows. An extended turing test lists functional and neuronal correlates of biological consciousness that are captured by the CMoC. These correlates provide the grounding for how biological or artificial agents learn to distinguish between sensory activity generated from outside or inside of the brain, how the perception of these activities can itself be learned, and how the information flow for learning an internal world model is orchestrated by a cortical meta-instance, which we call the conductor. Perception comes with the distinction of sensory and affective components, with the affective component linking to ethical questions that are inherent in our multidimensional model of consciousness. Recognizing the existence of a blueprint for a possible artificial consciousness encompasses functional, neuronal and ethical dimensions, begging the question: How should we behave towards agents that are akin to us in the inner workings of their brains? We sketch a human-AI deal, balancing the growing cognitive abilities of artificial agents, and the possibility to relieve them from suffering of negative affects, with a protection for the rights of humans.

This study aims to examine the need for using board games in teaching and learning (PdP) sessions related to the theme of digital citizenship. This study employed a qualitative approach using the Design and Development Research (DDR) methodology. Data was collected through interviews involving five Moral Education trainee teachers who had taught topics related to Digital Citizenship. The data was analyzed by adapting the three phases in the DDR Design and Development Model, where the first phase is needs analysis, the second phase is development, and the third phase is evaluation. The study results showed that the study participants had a high awareness of providing early exposure to the elements of citizenship. A teaching aid, namely a board game that incorporates three elements of digital citizenship, is needed. In the usability testing phase, the board game produced is attractive, capable of achieving three moral dimensions, namely moral reasoning, moral emotion, and moral behavior; the board game can also strengthen the relationship between students and teachers. The study's implications provide exposure to teachers to create a game-based teaching for the topic of moral and citizenship education, which can increase students' interest.

Evaluating Negotiators Who Deceptively Communicate Anger or Happiness: On the Importance of Morality, Sociability, and Competence

AbstractResearch has shown that negotiators sometimes misrepresent their emotions, and communicate a different emotion to opponents than they actually experience. Less is known about how people evaluate such negotiation tactics. Building on person perception literature, we investigated in three preregistered studies (N = 853) how participants evaluate negotiators who deceptively (vs. genuinely) communicate anger or happiness, on the dimensions of morality, sociability, and competence. Study 1 employed a buyer/seller setting, Studies 2 and 3 employed an Ultimatum Bargaining Game (UBG). In all studies, participants learned a negotiator’s (the target’s) experienced and communicated emotions (anger or happiness), before evaluating the target. Across studies, targets were evaluated lower on morality if they deceptively (vs. genuinely) communicated anger or happiness. Notably, negotiators deceptively communicating anger were evaluated lower on morality and sociability but higher on competence than those deceptively communicating happiness. Studies 2 and 3 investigated behavioral consequences by examining whether in a future negotiation participants chose the target to be their opponent or representative. Results showed that for opponents, participants preferred targets who genuinely communicated happiness (vs. anger), which was associated with their perceived morality or sociability. For representatives, participants not only preferred targets who had genuinely communicated happiness (vs. anger), but also targets who had deceptively communicated anger (vs. happiness), which was associated with their perceived competence. These findings show that when evaluating deceptive (vs. genuine) communication strategies, people distinguish between morality, sociability, and competence. The importance they attach to these dimensions is also contingent on the behavioral decisions they face.

Exploring Ethical and Emotional Dimensions of Customer Value in Financial Services through Employee-Customer Dynamics

This study focuses on exploring the ethical and emotional dimensions of customer perceived value (CPV) in financial services. This area is crucial to understanding customer dynamics within the finances sector, yet it remains underexplored in existing literature. Utilizing a quantitative analysis of 652 customer surveys from Canadian financial institutions, this research employs SmartPLS3 for structural equation modeling to ascertain the impacts of frontline employee job satisfaction on customer's ethical and emotional perceptions as well as their overall CPV. The data analysis reveals that customer-perceived employee job satisfaction positively affects CPV by significantly influencing ethical and emotional benefits. Although ethical benefits alone do not directly impact loyalty or word-of-mouth (WOM) recommendations, their influence is significant when mediated through CPV, with emotional benefits directly amplifying WOM and indirectly boosting loyalty. Correspondingly, the results highlight the importance of employee-centric policies and their direct correlation to customer loyalty and satisfaction. As such, this study contributes to the body of knowledge by linking employee satisfaction with ethical and emotional customer benefits, suggesting a reevaluation of business practices to integrate these dimensions for enhanced customer value creation. Future research is encouraged to explore these dynamics across varied contexts to expound upon these relationships' applicability and robustness. Our inquiry into the subject concludes by highlighting the strategic importance of fostering employee satisfaction when seeking to elevate CPV and achieve enduring customer loyalty.

Toward a conceptualization of decent work in Africa: Development and cross-cultural validation of the Decent Work Triad (DWT) in Burkina Faso, Switzerland, and Togo.

Psychology of Working theorists recommend supplementing the Decent Work Scale (DWS) with subjective investigations of decent work across different cultural contexts. Building on this, the present study developed and validated the Decent Work Triad (DWT) for assessing the subjective aspects of decent work in a sub-Saharan African context. Using a Burkinabe sample for exploratory (N = 303) and confirmatory (N = 494) analyses, it consists of 8 items assessing three moral and value-based dimensions: Dignity, Corruption-Free, and Shamelessness. The scale showed good psychometric properties and invariance across country and gender in Burkina Faso (N = 494), Switzerland (N = 590), and Togo (N = 812). It also showed incremental validity in predicting work and life satisfaction beyond the DWS and discriminant validity along with constructs of marginalization and economic constraints, underscoring its robustness. The DWT's utility in understanding the subjective and cultural dimensions of decent work and its implications were discussed.

Ethical aspects associated with genome alteration techniques applied to animal reproduction research.

The revolution in biology triggered by the different genome-editing tools has of course arrived to the research field of animal reproduction. Yeast meganucleases, zinc-finger nucleases, TALEN and, particularly, the several generations of CRISPR tools have landed in animal reproduction thereby providing novel strategies to optimize or modify some of the features and capabilities of the recipient animals. All these genome-editing proposals and activities are associated with ethical considerations regarding how those planned genome alterations might affect important animal welfare issues. The ethical dimension of all these genome editing must be seriously considered. Hence, all ethical aspects bound to any given genome-edited allele in animals should be discussed in order to ensure that we are maximizing benefits and reducing any potential risk or negative considerations of these modifications. In this review, I will summarize some of the experiments reported aiming to investigate or improve animal reproduction and I will address the ethics issues that should also be considered.

Fairy Tales of Genocide: Processing the Holocaust by Recontextualising Fairy-Tale Narratives

This article explores the intersection of fairy tales and Holocaust narratives, exploring the emerging trend of presenting Holocaust tales within the fairy-tale genre as a societal response to grappling with Holocaust trauma. Examining linguistic and ethical approaches in works by authors Liz Braswell, Louise Murphy, and Jane Yolen, it poses a central question: does merging Holocaust and fairy-tale narratives enhance understanding or hinder respectful remembrance? The article scrutinises subliminal storytelling in Holocaust tales, highlighting varied authorial approaches, from Braswell's cryptic social conflict to Murphy's and Yolen's use of vague references within a Holocaust-aware context. Exploring how Holocaust tales navigate the balance between fantasy and historical context, it analyses recontextualisation in the works of Braswell and Murphy. Braswell's ‘Beauty and the Beast’ engages with social conflict and history by transforming the curse, while Murphy's ‘Hansel and Gretel’ reframes the oven as a symbol of safety. Additionally, the article addresses the ethical dimensions of representing the Holocaust in children's fiction, emphasising the use of fantasy to enhance accessibility and emotional engagement. Analysing works like Yolen's ‘Briar Rose’ and Braswell's ‘Beauty and the Beast’ illustrates how these narratives navigate historical representation complexities, aiming to preserve awareness and prompt moral reflections.

Professional moral courage: A necessary trait that needs attention in modern nursing

Presently, nurses employed in healthcare environments encounter intricate moral and spiritual dilemmas as a result of their professional responsibilities. These challenges encompass issues such as aggressive interventions for terminally ill patients, superfluous medical examinations, and instances of deceit. The findings of the study highlighted deficiencies in the quality of care provided, inequitable power dynamics within the workforce, and a deficiency in organizational backing [1-3]. Conversely, given the numerous ethical dimensions within nursing practice such as upholding human dignity, respecting rights, and adhering to ethical standards, it is evident that ethics plays a crucial role in the framework of nursing [4]. One of the important and influential aspects in the discussion of professional ethics is the courage of professional ethics [5]. Moral courage is defined as standing up for what is right and involves a steadfast commitment to moral principles despite potential risks [6]. Moral courage is a virtue that creates the ability to perform moral behavior in a person and makes him perform morally despite obstacles. Courage is one of the most valuable human personality traits and has a central role in moral life. Moral courage is one of the basic values of the nursing profession. This value was introduced with two other values, love, and respect, by the International Honorary Society of Nurses in 1922 [2].

Exploring the Economic, Social, and Moral Justice Ramifications of the Warhol Decision

Beyond rectifying the interplay of the derivative work right and fair use, Justice Sotomayor’s vigorous, direct, and, at times, combative parrying with the dissent in Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, Inc. v. Goldsmith drove a dagger into the free culture movement’s critique of copyright law. The resulting decision repudiates the movement’s campaign to undermine the derivative work right through a simplistic transformativeness shortcut for applying the fair use doctrine. As this Article explains, the Copyright Act’s drafters enhanced the financial rewards to, economic power of, and control of copyrighted works by authors through the grant of a bundle of exclusive rights, including a broad exclusive right to prepare derivative works. The Act tempered those rights through limiting doctrines, express recognition and codification of the fair use doctrine, and a series of statutory limitations, exemptions, and compulsory licenses. The codification of fair use, however, was not intended to “change, narrow, or enlarge” the doctrine outside of its traditional bounds—criticism, commentary, news reporting, educational, and research uses—“in any way.” The legislative history further noted courts’ freedom “to adapt the doctrine to particular situations on a case-by-case basis,” “especially during a period of rapid technological change.” Congress saw licensing as a principal vehicle for supporting cumulative creativity and ensuring fair compensation to and control of derivative uses by authors. Notwithstanding this foundation and the Supreme Court’s faithful interpretation of the fair use doctrine in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc., the fair use doctrine veered off course as lower courts collapsed Campbell’s nuanced framework into a simplistic transformativeness analysis. The collision of this approach with the derivative work right prompted the Supreme Court’s intervention. The resulting Warhol decision reinforced the economic and social empowerment undergirding the 1976 Act. After tracing the emergence of the free culture movement and the devolution of the fair use doctrine, this Article explores the economic, social justice, and moral right dimensions of the copyright regime reflected in the Warhol decision.

Are meat alternatives a moral concern? A comparison of English and Japanese tweets

Meat alternatives, such as soy-based meat substitutes, are gaining attention as possible solutions for the negative effects of increased meat consumption on human health, the environment, and animal welfare. Our study indicates that the public interest in these alternatives is evolving into a moral concern, influencing both societal shifts and marketing approaches. Using longitudinal data from Twitter (now known as X), we analyzed spontaneous conversations on meat alternatives in both English and Japanese. We identified keywords reflecting food choice motivations and we assessed their prevalence in the tweets. Drawing on Moral Foundations Theory, we detected a shift in the moral language associated with conversations about meat alternatives. While both English and Japanese tweets showed a noticeable shift in consumer interest in meat alternatives driven by moral concerns for the environment and animals, the degree of moralizing was more pronounced in English. Our study provides empirical evidence of a decrease in emphasis on sensory appeal, such as taste (a significant factor in previous studies), and a growing dominance of moral considerations. For future marketing campaigns, it would be advantageous to highlight not only the taste and health benefits but also the ethical dimension, in order to resonate with consumers.

Echoes of Empathy: Analyzing the Ethical Dimensions of Animal Sacrifice in Tagore's 'Sacrifice'

One of his notable concerns was the practice of animal sacrifice, particularly in the context of worshiping the goddess Kali. This essay delves into how Tagore's literary creations and philosophical perspectives challenged this ritualistic tradition. By closely analyzing his play "Sacrifice" along with other narratives, novels, and dramas, we can uncover his opposition to animal sacrifice and his broader vision for a more ethical and compassionate spirituality.

Epistemic Injustice in the Medical Context: Introduction to Special Issue

ABSTRACT This special issue aims to delve deeper into the manifestations of epistemic injustice within asymmetric relationships, such as those between laypersons and experts (e.g. patients and physicians). We focus on distinguishing between warranted and unwarranted epistemic exclusions, recognizing that some epistemic harms may stem from justified exclusions, thus necessitating consideration of both just and unjust exclusions. Using examples from the medical field, including instances of misdiagnosis based on statistical correlations, we highlight the intricate nature of epistemic exclusions and their ethical implications. While some exclusions may align with established epistemic practices, others arise from unnecessary practices fueled by identity prejudice or power dynamics, thus presenting as instances of epistemic injustice. Additionally, our exploration of epistemic gaps, particularly within complex environments like medicine, illuminates the challenges individuals face in effectively conveying their experiences and accessing pertinent information. While certain forms of epistemic isolation may be warranted, others result from structural barriers hindering knowledge exchange, prompting critical reflection on the ethical dimensions of such practices.

La relación hombre-naturaleza como fundamento de la responsabilidad ambiental

Environmental responsibility has been analyzed since the mid-20th century, establishing its foundation in the disruption of the relationship between humans and nature. The urgency of these evaluations is a consequence of the negative impacts that human development has had on nature, endangering human existence itself. Delving into the study of the processes affecting this relationship, with the philosophical dimensions it implies, is a task that demands engagement with the body of knowledge of this science. Philosophy, as a conception of the world, includes ontological, ethical, and gnoseological dimensions. Therefore, addressing environmental issues should be done from this same philosophical perspective, more specifically from dialectical materialism, which allows for an understanding of the dynamics of natural and social development. Many scientists and intellectuals converge on the foundation and conceptualization of environmental responsibility. At this point, it is necessary to clarify the elements that allow for the establishment of the human-nature relationship as the basis of environmental responsibility. This research aims, from a historical-philosophical perspective, to analyze the human-nature relationship as the foundation of environmental responsibility based on ontological, ethical, and gnoseological dimensions. Given the qualitative nature of the research, it is based on the dialectical materialist conception of the world, supported by analytical-synthetic, hermeneutic, and historical-logical methods, which allowed for the determination of contributory elements for the theoretical foundation of environmental responsibility. In this sense, it was concluded that the relationship between the ontological, ethical, and gnoseological dimensions established in the study of the human-nature relationship allows it to be established as the basis of environmental responsibility. It also contributes to the integral analysis of phenomena occurring in nature, additionally providing essential elements for the development of contemporary environmental ethics.
