“…Such a level of understanding would seem to require that AI have some conception of what it's like to be in the patient's position. This implies common experiences and subjective consciousness which most AI researchers agree that AI currently does not have (Wildt, 2019). Several researchers suggest that AI robot may one day possess what Ned Block (1996) calls access consciousness , i.e., a mental state's availability for use by the organism, for example in reasoning and guiding behaviour, and describes how a mental state is related with other mental states.…”

Artificial intelligence (AI) and AI care robots are rapidly changing the healthcare landscape in part because of the growing physical, intellectual and emotional demands of nursing as well as technological advances. As technology becomes more advanced, efficient, and economical, opportunities and pressure to introduce AI into nursing care will only increase. Under these conditions, there is an urgent need to consider principles according to which interventions ought to be provided by a human or AI devices. Nurses have traditionally been regarded as clinicians that deliver compassionate, safe, and empathetic health care (Brenan, 2018). Caring is a fundamental characteristic, expectation, and moral obligation of the nursing and caregiving professions and, thus once the caregiver-patient relationship has been created, there exists a moral obligation and to care for patients (American Nurses Association, 2015). Along with caring, nurses are expected to undertake ever-expanding duties and complex tasks. Nurses are responsible for collecting data, determining diagnoses, making nursing care plans, executing care

“…Other approaches discuss properties such as sentience, intelligence, or consciousness (cf. Floridi and Sanders 2004 ; Sparrow 2004 ; Himma 2009 ; Levy 2009 ; Hildt 2019 ; Kingwell 2020 ; Mosakas 2020 ; Gibert and Martin 2021 ; Véliz 2021 ). Thus, if a robot can feel pain or is self-aware, then we should incorporate it into the group of entities that possess moral status.…”

Proponents of welcoming robots into the moral circle have presented various approaches to moral patiency under which determining the moral status of robots seems possible. However, even if we recognize robots as having moral standing, how should we situate them in the hierarchy of values? In particular, who should be sacrificed in a moral dilemma–a human or a robot? This paper answers this question with reference to the most popular approaches to moral patiency. However, the conclusions of a survey on moral patiency do not consider another important factor, namely the law. For now, the hierarchy of values is set by law, and we must take that law into consideration when making decisions. I demonstrate that current legal systems prioritize human beings and even force the active protection of humans. Recent studies have suggested that people would hesitate to sacrifice robots in order to save humans, yet doing so could be a crime. This hesitancy is associated with the anthropomorphization of robots, which are becoming more human-like. Robots’ increasing similarity to humans could therefore lead to the endangerment of humans and the criminal responsibility of others. I propose two recommendations in terms of robot design to ensure the supremacy of human life over that of humanoid robots.

“…In part, issues around terminology may be a matter of definition. Depending on the definition given, for example for "mind" or "consciousness", claims that current robots do have minds or consciousness may be perfectly adequate, implying that robot mind or robot consciousness are significantly different from human-like mind or consciousness (Bryson, 2018;Hildt, 2019;Nyholm, 2020). It may be argued that as long as clear definitions are provided, and different conceptions are used for humans and robots, this type of language use is not problematic.…”
