A Computational Model of Natural Language Communication: Interpretation, Inference, and Production in Database Semantics

Springer, 2006

Everyday life would be easier if we could simply talk with machines instead of having to program them. Before such talking robots can be built, however, there must be a theory of how communicating with natural language works. This requires not only a grammatical analysis of the language signs, but also a model of the cognitive agent, with...

The Machine Question: Critical Perspectives on AI, Robots, and Ethics

MIT Press, 2012

One of the enduring concerns of moral philosophy is deciding who or what is deserving of ethical consideration.
