About

Martin Gibert is a leading voice in the ethics of artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on the moral status of AI systems and the development of virtuous machines. His most influential work, "In search of the moral status of AI: why sentience is a strong argument" (2021, 80 citations), makes a compelling case that sentience—rather than intelligence or consciousness—should be the primary criterion for granting moral consideration to AI entities. This paper has become a cornerstone in debates about AI rights and responsibilities. Gibert further advances the field with "The case for virtuous robots" (2022, 15 citations), where he explores how AI systems might be designed to embody moral virtues, moving beyond simple rule-following to more nuanced ethical behavior. His research bridges philosophy, cognitive science, and computer ethics, offering a rigorous yet accessible framework for understanding the moral landscape of emerging technologies. Gibert’s work is essential reading for anyone grappling with the ethical implications of increasingly autonomous AI, and his arguments continue to shape both academic discourse and public policy discussions on the future of human-machine relations.
