ABSTRACT Emotional abilities are not a new topic in the study of Artificial Intelligence (AI), but with the appearance of new commercial possibilities for robots and domestic artificial systems, affective computing has become a major area of research in the recent years, cited profusely in the academic bibliography. Many philosophers and computer scientists give credit to the idea that in order to create an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) we will need to include emotional capabilities in the architectures. Despite this consensus, there has not been any real attempt to systematize a new philosophy of artificial intelligence that takes emotions as central in its predicaments. This thesis comes to fill this gap trying to develop a new ontology and ethics of the Emotional Artificial Intelligence.   INTRODUCTION Although at its origins, 65 years ago at the Dartmouth Conference, Artificial Intelligence did not consider at all the introduction of emotions in the systems that were be...

Finding my own voice

  Hello everyone!   My name is Enrique and I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Philosophy by the University of Oviedo and a Master’s Degree in Spanish as a Second Language by the same institution. Currently I am a student in a doctorate program in Scientific Culture in the Logic and Philosophy of Science department at the University of Oviedo. My thesis is about the implementation of emotions on AI systems. I would say that my audience is mainly the academic community, as every PhD candidate has to publish and aim for international journals in order to make their CV more competitive. I always write from home, as I have all my books and resources and a good internet connection if I need to check some facts or search for something important. I write in the morning time, as I find it the time I am the most productive. I expect my life to be quite stable for the next 2-3 years (fingers crossed). I am on my first year of research, so far I have not written anything in English but I expec...
