We'll be at #AIES2025 presenting Atmadeep's work on Postcolonial Ethics for Robots www.martimbrandao.com/papers/Ghosh... We:
- analyse 7 major roboethics frameworks, identifying gaps for the Global South
- propose principles to make AI robots culturally responsive and genuinely empowering
First page of paper "Embodied AI at the Margins: Postcolonial Ethics for Intelligent Robotic Systems". Abstract: As AI-powered robots increasingly permeate global societies, critical questions emerge about their ethical governance in diverse cultural contexts. This paper interrogates the adequacy of dominant roboethics frameworks when applied to Global South environments, where unique sociotechnical landscapes demand a reevaluation of Western-centric ethical assumptions. Through thematic analysis of seven major ethical standards for AI and robotics, we uncover systemic limitations that present challenges in non-Western contexts such as assumptions about standardized testing infrastructures, individualistic notions of autonomy, and universalized ethical principles. The uncritical adoption of these frameworks risks reproducing colonial power dynamics in which technological authority flows from centers of AI production rather than from the communities most affected by deployment. Instead of replacing existing frameworks entirely, we propose augmenting them through four complementary ethical dimensions developed through a postcolonial lens: epistemic non-imposition, onto-contextual consistency, agentic boundaries, and embodied spatial justice. These principles provide conceptual scaffolding for technological governance that respects indigenous knowledge systems, preserves cultural coherence, accounts for communal decision structures, and enhances substantive capabilities for Global South communities. The paper demonstrates practical implementation pathways for these principles across technological life cycles, offering actionable guidance for dataset curation, task design, and deployment protocols that mitigate power asymmetries in cross-cultural robotics implementation. This approach moves beyond surface-level adaptation to reconceptualize how robotic systems may ethically function within the complex social ecologies of the Global South while fostering genuine...

I gave a talk at the University of Milano-Bicocca at the International Congress on Roboethics. We have to redesign the legal frame around identity, substrate, time, and trust, to fully realize why the path of human flourishing in the next decades runs through AI and robot rights.

One of his aims is to reduce anthropocentrism. In my paper, I challenge that aim, arguing that in this regard, his approach is only partially successful —and that there is no easy escape from anthropocentrism.
