| description | Roboethics is a branch of applied ethics interested in the ethical and social challenges of robotics and artificial intelligence. In this essay I use the science-fiction cinema to reflect in this discipline, taking into account the dual function of this genre as “mirror” of the techno-scientific avant-garde and as a “laboratory” for futuristic speculation and social influence. Among the ethical-social issues related to these technologies, I focus my efforts on analysing (1) the risk and associated security measures, (2) the inherent rights and duties, and (3) the relational consequences of the human-machine dyad. In conclusion, it should be noted that the science-fiction cinema has approached without dissimulation (with a different degree of plausibility) all these questions, which seem of the utmost urgency if we consider the bio-psycho-social impact that robotics and cybernetics already have (and will have) in our lives. |

La roboética es una rama de la ética aplicada interesada por los desafíos éticos y sociales de la robótica y la inteligencia artificial. En el presente ensayo utilizo el cine de ciencia-ficción para reflexionar sobre esta disciplina, habida cuenta de la doble función de este género como “espejo” de la vanguardia tecno-científica y como “laboratorio” para la especulación futurista y la influencia social. De entre los muchos temas ético-sociales relacionados con estas tecnologías, centro los esfuerzos en analizar (1) los riesgos y medidas de seguridad asociadas, (2) los derechos y deberes inherentes y (3) las consecuencias relacionales de la díada humano-máquina. Como conclusión, cabe destacar que el cine de ciencia-ficción se ha aproximado sin disimulo (con diferente grado de plausibilidad) a todas estas cuestiones, las cuales se antojan de máxima urgencia si consideramos el impacto bio-psico-social que la robótica y la cibernética ya tienen (y tendrán) en nuestras vidas.
