Access   A principal goal of the discipline of artificial
morality is to design artificial agents to act as if they are
moral agents. Intermediate goals of artificial morality are
directed at building into AI systems sensitivity to the values,
ethics, and legality of activities. The development of an
effective foundation for the field of artificial morality
involves exploring the technological and philosophical issues
involved in making computers into explicit moral reasoners. The
goal of this paper is to discuss strategies for implementing
artificial morality and the differing criteria for success that
are appropriate to different strategies.
