The article aims at investigating into the normative persuasiveness of such a view. It is specifically interested in the moral -- in contrast to political or practical -- arguments in…

One means by which humans maintain social cooperation is through intervention in third-party transgressions, a behaviour observable from the early years of development. While it has been argued that pre-school age children's intervention behaviour is driven by normative understandings, there is scepticism regarding this claim. There is also little…

This article argues that ethical authorship is essential for the ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI).
