    Anthropomorphism in social AIs: Some challenges
    (Elsevier Press, 2024) Wajnerman, Paz Abel; Salles, Arleen; Instituto de Éticas Aplicadas, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile; Institute of Neuroethics
    In this chapter, we are concerned with anthropomorphism in social AIs, particularly social chatbots. While not embodied in terms of having a human-like appearance, these chatbots are designed to induce attribution of intentionality and agency to engage users in enhanced interactions. Here we identify and present two strategies used to address the legitimacy of the anthropomorphisation, the intentional creation of human-like traits, of AIs: ontological and pragmatic. We further review some objections to pragmatic attempts to justify the anthropomorphisation of AIs. It is not our goal to argue in favour or against anthropomorphising social chatbots. Rather we examine some persistent concerns and call for more attention to and further research and reflection on the ethical, psychological, and ontological assumptions underlying them.

    Applying ethics, placating ethics, or applying ourselves to ethics? A critical view of environmental ethics as applied ethics
    (2016) Serani Merlo, Alejandro
    There is actually a pervasive tendency to consider environmental ethics and bioethics as specific cases pertaining to a supposed kind of ″applied ethics″. Application can be understood in two different meanings: a concrete sense, as in technical applications, and a psychological meaning, as when we mentally apply ourselves to a task. Ethics has been always thought as a practical knowledge, in a ″praxical″ sense and not in a ″poietic″ one. Ethics has to do with ″ends″ not with ″means″; in this sense ethics is ″useless″. Since ethics has to do with the ultimate meaning of things, ethical choices give meaning to all practical activities. In that sense ethics instead of being useless must be considered as ″over-useful″ (Maritain). Nowadays politics tend to instrumentalize ethics in order to political objectives. The consequence has been the reconceptualization of specific ethics as applied ethics. Environmental ethics and bioethics are then submitted to politics following the logic of technical applications. Environmental ethics and bioethics considered as applied ethics are at risk to becoming not only useless, but also meaningless.There is actually a pervasive tendency to consider environmental ethics and bioethics as specific cases pertaining to a supposed kind of ″applied ethics″.

    Chapter 4: Health Care Access and Coverage for Cancer Patients: An Ethical Imperative
    (2022) Ferrer L.; Lopez R.; Lopez F.; Catoni M.I.
    © 2022, Journal of Moral Theology, Inc.. All rights reserved.The ethical imperative voiced by colleagues from the Universidad Católica de Chile stresses the urgency of providing universal access to healthcare services on a global scale because health is a social good and a social right. On the one hand, health systems should promote innovations because they will contribute to greater sustainability and foster the sharing of health benefits to the different communities in the world. On the other hand, in healthcare practice, it is necessary to create more inclusive models of care that reach out to larger sectors of the population. Finally, interdisciplinary work is necessary to provide comprehensive care, considering the social determinants of health in the diverse social contexts where people live.
