Weak artificial intelligence is artificial intelligence that implements a limited part of the mind,or,as narrow AI,is focused on one narrow task.
Robot ethics,sometimes known as "roboethics",concerns ethical problems that occur with robots,such as whether robots pose a threat to humans in the long or short run,whether some uses of robots are problematic,and how robots should be designed such that they act 'ethically'. Alternatively,roboethics refers specifically to the ethics of human behavior towards robots,as robots become increasingly advanced. Robot ethics is a sub-field of ethics of technology,specifically information technology,and it has close links to legal as well as socio-economic concerns. Researchers from diverse areas are beginning to tackle ethical questions about creating robotic technology and implementing it in societies,in a way that will still ensure the safety of the human race.
The ethics of artificial intelligence covers a broad range of topics within the field that are considered to have particular ethical stakes. This includes algorithmic biases,fairness,automated decision-making,accountability,privacy,and regulation. It also covers various emerging or potential future challenges such as machine ethics,lethal autonomous weapon systems,arms race dynamics,AI safety and alignment,technological unemployment,AI-enabled misinformation,how to treat certain AI systems if they have a moral status,artificial superintelligence and existential risks.
Machine ethics is a part of the ethics of artificial intelligence concerned with adding or ensuring moral behaviors of man-made machines that use artificial intelligence,otherwise known as artificial intelligent agents. Machine ethics differs from other ethical fields related to engineering and technology. It should not be confused with computer ethics,which focuses on human use of computers. It should also be distinguished from the philosophy of technology,which concerns itself with technology's grander social effects.

Regulation of artificial intelligence is the development of public sector policies and laws for promoting and regulating artificial intelligence (AI). It is part of the broader regulation of algorithms. The regulatory and policy landscape for AI is an emerging issue in jurisdictions worldwide,including for international organizations without direct enforcement power like the IEEE or the OECD.
