• AI and Agendas
  Gogoshin, D. L. Frontiers in Artificial Intelligence and Applications: Social Robots with AI: Prospects, Risks, and Responsible Methods. Ebook, Vol. 397. Amsterdam: IOS Press.
  In this paper, I argue that the primary AI-related ethical issue is that of the agendas driving AI. I identity concrete agenda-related threats and propose ways of addressing them. I suggest that it is these threats which widen the gap (alienation) between humans and their technology. I also make a proposal aimed at reducing this alienation.

• A way forward for responsibility in the age of AI
  Gogoshin, D. L., 12 Feb 2024, In: Inquiry. 34 p.
  This article incoprorates moral responsibility skepticism into the responsibility gap literature in the AI context and argues that traditional (desert-based) responsibility is not something we should worry about losing in this context.

• Patient Preferences Concerning Humanoid Features in Healthcare Robots
  Gogoshin, D. L., 2024, In: Science and Engineering Ethics.
  I wrote this article in order to contribute to Radar’s research objectives. It started as a joint paper with Kamil Mamak but we lacked an ethical framework for the claim we wanted to defend, and so I set out to create one.

2021

• Robot Responsibility and Moral Community
  Gogoshin, D. L., 22 Nov 2021, In: Frontiers in robotics and AI .
  This paper puts my early dissertation work on moral responsibility to use in the robotics debate. It is actually meant more as a critique of the responsibility system than an argument in favor of robot responsibility.
