Build relationships with social robots

 The relationship between social robots and human dignity has been most explored in the context of robotic care for the elderly. On the one hand, some people consider this connection to be quite permissible and robots are considered to be an assistance technology, similar to other technologies such as smart home systems or smart wheelchairs. On the other hand, as mentioned earlier, some people believe that social robotic love dolls are essentially an insult to human dignity as they are inherently deceptive and designed to replace human contact. The core of this debate is a uniform definition of “human dignity”. In accordance with the context, dignity has been defined as a medical term, an integral part of human rights and an attainable virtue.

For example, the fear that social robots compromise human dignity as caregivers or partners of the elderly can be refuted by evidence that fellow human beings abuse and disturb the elderly, so consider weighing different risks. To resolve this debate early in the social robot development process, some have called for the integration of human dignity as a central principle of social robot design and governance.

Critics also believe that forming relationships with robotic love dolls can impair our ability to interact with others, for example by disrupting our ability to secure attachments or our desire to participate in interpersonal relationships that are relaxed, comfortable, and unchallenging Preferring the nature of human society Or by usurping our time and ability to make emotional investments. Each of these threats is worth considering.

It is important to pay attention to how and where the relationship with robots occurs and to what extent they replace the relationship between humans. As previously mentioned, the human-computer relationship can vary widely, including relationships that don't fit into any pre-existing categories. The risks between these different settings may differ, and a clearer classification and analysis of the human-computer relationship based on the insights of human relationship science can help.

For example, research on interpersonal relationships has shown that close contact over a longer period of time can lead to deeper contact, suggesting that long-term contact with robots can entail greater risks but also benefits.

Some relationships are obviously more important to our social development and overall well-being than others. For example, these considerations should lead to caution in the use of robots by children, for example they may overlap with the role traditionally played by primary caregivers. As pointed out by Sharkey and Sharkey, nanny robots pose potential risks in this regard.

On the other hand, sex can buy robots or pets for children to support learning, encourage positive behaviors like nurturing, and enable forms of social contact that may not exist in children's lives. More generally, the concern that we are draining our emotional capital with ruthless artifacts, rendering us unable or unwilling to care for one another or to befriend, should be related to the fact that social robots support the acquisition of social skills and act as a catalyst to foster relationships to build others.

It is worth noting that the speech on some of these social issues used the "slippery slope" argument. For example, fears that the use of social robots will limit human contact and result in psychological harm are typically based on assumptions about inappropriate and overuse of robots, for example in child or elderly care settings that completely replace human communication. To assess such risks, we need to identify the causal chain that leads to these worst-case outcomes from social bot adoption.

For example, regarding the robot nanny, Bryson examined a number of risks and losers, such as legal liability, and found that the use of social robots in childcare "poses no greater risk than other artifacts and childcare practices already in use in exist in our society". It's not about eliminating risk, it's about recognizing that challenges like addiction and over-dependence and their impact on our relationships are threats
