Ethical Identity and Ethical Selection:Machines Like Me in the Light of Ethical Literary Literary

《我这样的机器》是英国当代知名小说家伊恩·麦克尤恩探讨人机伦理的最新力作。第一批机器人介入人类生活是对科学选择阶段的初探,但彼时人类还未真正进入科学选择阶段,因此人类和机器人陷入了艰难的伦理选择与混乱的伦理身份所引发的伦理困境。从文学伦理学角度分析小说中机器人所造成的伦理身份与伦理选择上的冲突,揭示机器人介入人类道德生活的失败,从文本中与人工智能之父图灵的互动来挖掘麦克尤恩所表达的科技伦理观。

As newly released work of renowned contemporary British novelist Lan McEwan,Machines Like Me explores human-machine ethics,in which the first robots engage with human life for a glimpse of scientific selection period.But humans are not ready for entering into the scientific selection period,so these robots will certainly go through ethical predicament caused by tough ethical selection and confused identity.This paper,analyzing the conflict in ethical identity and ethical selection caused by robots in the novel from the perspective of ethical literary criticism,reveals the failure of engagements with human moral life,and excavates the technology ethics expressed by McEwan from the interaction with Turing,the father of artificial intelligence.
