Cultured meat, also referred to as cultivated meat, lab-grown or in-vitro meat, represents a new approach to food production. It involves the growth of animal cells within a controlled environment, thereby eliminating the necessity of farming animals in order to produce meat.

We invite contributions that discuss the problem of artificial consciousness from metaphysical, epistemological, or ethical perspectives. Potential topics for submissions include, but are not limited to, the following:

Artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to dramatically impact the lives of non-human animals (hereafter: animals), for good or bad. It has opened a whole new range of possibilities to exploit and control animals while at the same time opening the way for understanding animals and communicating with them in a hitherto unimaginable way. The impacts of AI on humans receive a lot of attention, while the impacts of AI on animals and the human–animal relationship remain underexplored. For example, ethical guidelines on AI rarely discuss animals (Owe and Baum 2021; Ryan 2022).

Paper submissions are invited for the special issue of Philosophical Studies entitled: SI Superintelligent Robots. This special issue aims to explore the profound philosophical questions and ethical challenges posed by the advent of superintelligent robots.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving and increasingly widespread technology that significantly shapes the social, cultural, and political processes of our time. It is now evident that this transformation raises pressing ethical questions. An ethical approach to AI can serve as a crucial guide for regulation, which is becoming ever more important in this domain.

How do we know what the right thing to do is under uncertainty? More specifically, in the quest to innovate for societal goals such as sustainability, or emancipation, how do we know we are not just providing another technofix?

Special Issue Editors

In contrast to previous revolutions in technology and work, the professions are more vulnerable to impact and change from artificial intelligence.
