abstract = {Despite its successes, to date Artificial Intelligence (AI)
is still characterized by a number of shortcomings with
regards to different application domains and goals. These
limitations are arguably both conceptual (e.g., related to
underlying theoretical models, such as symbolic vs.
connectionist), and operational (e.g., related to robustness
and ability to generalize). Biologically inspired AI, and
more specifically brain-inspired AI, promises to provide
further biological aspects beyond those that are already
traditionally included in AI, making it possible to assess
and possibly overcome some of its present shortcomings. This
article examines some conceptual, technical, and ethical
issues raised by the development and use of brain-inspired
AI. Against this background, the paper asks whether there is
anything ethically unique about brain-inspired AI. The aim
of the paper is to introduce a method that has a heuristic
nature and that can be applied to identify and address the
ethical issues arising from brain-inspired AI. The
conclusion resulting from the application of this method is
that, compared to traditional AI, brain-inspired AI raises
new foundational ethical issues and some new practical
ethical issues, and exacerbates some of the issues raised by
traditional AI.},
