Ethical Challenges of Brain-computer Interface Agency:A Moral Luck-Based Perspective
Brain-computer interface-mediated behavior can be viewed as a non-embodied process of perceptual action that transcends the body,a process that seems to bear more blame and punishment than ordinary human beings due to its ability to translate thoughts into actions,but only because of its uncontrollable factors,thus introducing the theory of moral luck.It is found that existing research on brain-computer interfaces and moral luck focuses more on intentionality,ignoring the inherent error mechanisms implied by the technology from the perspective of controllability,whereas control and inten-tionality,as dual perspectives on mobility,provide new perspectives for examining the distinctive moral luck issues attached to brain-computer interfaces-enabled"artificial bodies".
