Research questionHow does moral-dilemma context shape human and LLM judgments of autonomous agents’ moral agency?People may attribute less moral agency to artificial agents than to humans, but their judgments can shift with the severity and urgency of a particular dilemma. This makes it difficult to tell whether agency judgments reflect stable views of the agent or the surrounding situation.

Investigating Moral Decision-Making in Human-Artificial Agents InteractionsApplies to human–artificial-agent interactions involving embodied and disembodied autonomous systems in plausible smart-city scenarios. Evidence comes from an adapted perceived moral agency scale administered to 190 human participants and various LLMs; it concerns perceived agency and scenario-based reasoning, not the agents’ actual moral responsibility or deployment behavior.research paper · Sep 4, 2026
