Abstract

Progress in automatization and robotization is unavoidable. However, while progress in some fields is relatively rapid, others including policing seem to be untouched by automatization. This article discusses arguments which favor the use of police robots, in particular crowd control robots. The special case of pandemics is discussed. The article argues that while we have some ethical issues associated with crowd control robots, in general, the benefits are higher than the possible risks.

警察机器人的伦理问题。大流行中的人群控制机器人案例

摘要

自动化和机器人化的进步是不可避免的。然而，虽然某些领域的进展相对较快，但包括警务在内的其他领域似乎并未受到自动化的影响。本文讨论了支持使用警用机器人，特别是人群控制机器人的论点。讨论了流行病的特殊情况。文章认为，虽然我们在人群控制机器人方面存在一些伦理问题，但总的来说，收益高于可能的风险。
