Natural dispositions such as solubility and irascibility have received considerable attention in recent years, but the advent of AI has opened up new and challenging horizons. Artificial Dispositions is a timely, wide-ranging collection of essays on a morally salient topic with deep philosophical roots and far-reaching theoretical and practical implications. * John Heil, Professor of Philosophy, Washington University, USA and Durham University, UK, and Honorary Research Associate, Monash University, Australia * Dispositions, entities with a foot in both actuality and the realm of mere possibility, have long puzzled and fascinated philosophers. This important collection of essays by leading experts on the philosophy of dispositions refines and leverages the notion of artificial disposition to address pressing philosophical issues concerning AI and morality. * Samuel Kimpton-Nye, Lecturer in Philosophy, King’s College London, UK * This book puts the spotlight on those dispositions that are so dear to design theory, engineering, and education, and yet underevaluated in much of the current debate on dispositions. Human enhancement, artificial intelligence, and artificial moral agency all find their discussion in this inspiring volume. * Ludger Jansen, Cusanus Chair of Philosophy, PTH Brixen College, Italy *
