1. Emerging Technologies and Moral Boundaries: Psychological, Philosophical and Neuroscientific Perspectives

2. Understanding Ethical cognition Not ethical decision making Not (directly) guiding ethical decision making e.g. seven horizons e.g. case studies What guides/motivates/generates ethical sentiments & related emotions (e.g. anger, abhorrence, disgust, forgiveness, beneficence, sacrifice)

3. Why care? Understand basis of own decisions E.g. May reveal and shed light on disconnects between ‘in principle’ ethical decisions, and ‘hot’ ethical responses to actual situations Ethical sentiments are very powerful, perhaps most powerful social force Shapes public opinion / response Motivates life and death decisions Dictates ease and ability to treat others in different ways (e.g. to kill, to treat inhumanely, to treat appropriately to a peacekeeping operation)

4. Why military might care Effectiveness of troops in war situation Effectiveness of troops in peacekeeping Moral of troops and effective use of technology Reintegration of troops after tour National / International public opinion How to present or ‘package’ use of enhancements, control perception, win ‘hearts and minds’

5. Slight change of focus Not about reaching consensus – about understanding multiple perspectives, what is common, what is different Not about dismissing ‘hysterical’ responses or putting aside ‘bad arguments’. Cultural differences (by nation, by sub-culture) Dependency on exposure (live it vs. hear about it) and on how communicated (propaganda) Interesting and important in its own right Encourage thinking ‘outside the box’ – stronger guide to how to build consensus (as opposed to ‘look, we reached a consensus, now that should dictate policy’). Better understand what guides our own ethical intuitions (rather than appeal to religion, rationality, ‘authority of educated philosopher’) Inform laws / how principles should be applied. Not replacement for activities outlined, but complement to them.
