- 1 March 2012
A brief personal report on why the EUCogII meeting in Groningen thought autonomy in real-world environments is central for cognitive systems research and what I think I learned about it.
Nonconceptual Demonstrative Reference
- A. Raftopoulos, V. C. Müller
- Philosophy, Psychology

- Political ScienceRobophilosophy
- 1 July 2016
The widespread fear of killer robots is unfounded; the availability of LAWS would probably not increase the probability of war or other lethal conflict—especially as compared to extant remote-controlled weapons.
