“…Researchers such as Arnold (2020), Aleksandrovich and Gomes (2020), Arnold 2017) have explored various technologies including virtual reality, soft robotics, bio-inspired robotics, haptic wearable interfaces, and more (Rothstein et al, 2021). Sex robots belong to the category of social robots, encompassing various terms in English such as sex robots, AI-powered sex dolls, (hyper)realistic erotic dolls, and animated sex dolls.…”

The purpose of this paper is to explore the ways in which Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) results can be significantly influenced by ethical management. Design/methodology/approach: There is combined in the paper the research analysis and narrative approach. The social side of ethical management was explored by looking at the history of these companies, focusing on the unethical practices they had to deal with. Findings: As a result of the research performed it became apparent that ethical management is more than just a theory. It affects how businesses interact with staff, comply with legal requirements, safeguard whistleblowers, and evaluate their ethical performance. Research limitations/implications:There are some limitations of the investigation. Deeper research need to be conducted to fully capture the diversity of organizational contexts and industries to understand in what way ethical management can impact their CSR strategy. Practical implications: Implementing these results to the real world means that ethical management is more than a slogan used by businesses. It's about establishing ethically conscious workplaces, encouraging values, and, in the end, influencing how companies interact with society. Originality/value: The personal perspective that was brought to the frequently theoretical field of ethical management sets these investigation apart. The goal was to provide insights that will benefit both academics and individuals navigating the challenges of ethical leadership in the real world by combining research with true stories.

“…Rothstein and colleagues [118] explored the extent to which individuals perceive infidelity when cheating their partners with a sexbot. Respondents rated their interactions with sexbots as being less disrespectful and less likely to be judged as infidelity as those same acts committed with another human.…”

This is the first Italian study to examine views on sexbots of adult male sex offenders and non-offenders, and their perceptions of sexbots as sexual partners, and sexbots as a means to prevent sexual violence. In order to explore these aspects 344 adult males were involved in the study. The study carried out two types of comparisons. 100 male sex offenders were compared with 244 male non-offenders. Also, sex offenders were divided into child molesters and rapists. Preliminary findings suggest that sex offenders were less open than non-offenders to sexbots, showed a lower acceptance of them, and were more likely to dismiss the possibility of having an intimate and sexual relationship with a sexbot. Sex offenders were also less likely than non-offenders to believe that the risk of sexual violence against people could be reduced if a sexbot was used in the treatment of sex offenders. No differences were found between child molesters and rapists. Though no definitive conclusion can be drawn about what role sexbots might play in the prevention and treatment of sex offending, this study emphasizes the importance of both exploring how sexbots are both perceived and understood. Sex offenders in this study showed a high dynamic sexual risk and, paradoxically, despite, or because of, their sexual deviance (e.g. deficits in sexual self-regulation), they were more inclined to see sexbots as just machines and were reluctant to imagine them as social agents, i.e. as intimate or sexual arousal partners. How sex offenders differ in their dynamic risk and criminal careers can inform experts about the mechanisms that take place and can challenge their engagement in treatment and intervention.

“…People are no longer asking if robots ever will be part of human communities; they are wondering when robots will arrive, and in what roles and contexts. In fact, robots are beginning to appear as service personnel [18], soldiers [16], and astronauts [33], but also as caregivers [73], teachers [14], and partners [2, 21,49,71]. These roles would normally require a blend of risk awareness, social skills, and moral sensitivity.…”

Robots are increasingly taking on roles in contexts in which ethical decision making is necessary. In this paper, we offer a set of tools to study one central capacity of future moral robots: to have norm competence and, in particular, to make acceptable decisions when moral norms conflict with one another. Our efforts are in line with growing trends in the community to create and share systematic and replicable methods as well as validated testbeds, measures, and open datasets. Specifically, we propose four principal requirements for systematic research on human responses to robots’ choices to resolve norm conflicts and on their sequelae---human moral judgments, potential loss of trust, and robot mitigations to regain that trust. We also share a series of validated testbeds in the form of moral dilemmas. We detail our procedures and results of a human-subjects experiment (N=1,573) to validate these moral dilemmas as demonstrating high levels of norm conflict and thus well suited to study human-robot interaction in light of such norm conflicts. From these efforts we provide for the community an integrated framework of methodological tools for Moral HRI.
