Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have been met by rigorous analyses concerning their social and environmental impacts. However, AI ethics literature has curiously expended far less energy theorizing justice and interrogating its ontological boundaries. Meanwhile, environmental philosophy has taken justice seriously, although it has tended to focus exclusively on animals and nature. This chapter seeks to overcome the anthropocentric bias of AI ethics and the biocentric bias of environmental philosophy by developing an Anthropocene-informed theory of justice capable of accommodating technological beings. To accomplish this, I compare several theories of justice hospitable to non-humans—multispecies justice, planetary justice, and socio-ecological justice. After identifying optimal features drawn from these approaches, I devise a list of design principles and explain how they could be employed in the case of a personal delivery device. I conclude by calling for AI ethics to embrace complexity, interdisciplinarity, and epistemic humility in its pursuit of justice.]]>

The 21st century has witnessed the emergence of a new tool intended to address the seemingly intractable issue of environmental destruction- legal personhood for nature. While jurists, legislators, and activists alike have successfully institutionalized this particular ontological innovation across various jurisdictions, alternative strategies designed to bring a range of non-human entities, including animals and artificial intelligence, into the legal realm have gone largely unnoticed. This presentation seeks to correct for this oversight by exploring the potential of several proposals that disrupt conventional notions of legal personhood in ways that strive to overcome challenges inherent to the incorporation of the more-than-human world. The talk concludes with a call for policymakers and advocates to reconsider the extant approach to legal personhood for nature. ]]>

How can robots be designed to advance the prospects for obtaining justice? While a considerable body of literature focuses on the ethics and rights implications of artificial intelligence (AI), surprisingly less energy has been dedicated to understanding the conditions under which emerging technologies can contribute to the pursuit of justice. In addition, much of the relevant scholarly discourse has examined key moral and ethical issues from an almost exclusively anthropocentric perspective. Meanwhile, the onset of the Anthropocene has animated concerns about the implications of human-centered thinking, although this conversation has scarcely influenced the tenor of debates in AI ethics. This talk seeks to overcome these gaps and missed opportunities for dialogue by exploring theories of justice that include the more-than-human world, be it natural or technological. The goal is to prescribe ways in which design can promote justice for all the Earth’s inhabitants and contribute to a more ethical future.]]>
