Abstract
This article is a commentary on Lisa Benossi and Sven Bernecker's paper “A Kantian Perspective on Robot Ethics”. The development of artificial intelligent systems has led to an expansion or even blurring of the concept of agency, with the emphasis shifting from the autonomy of intention and action to the social effect of human-machine interaction. Benossi and Bernecker's article, which examines the Kantian view of moral agency, brings us back closer to the classical understanding of agency, allowing us to prioritize not the illusion of autonomy, but freedom of choice and moral responsibility.
