Abstract

As Advanced Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are on the rise, there is the greater importance that concerns the very complex problem of science and ethics. This article concentrates on Ian McEwan's work Machines Like Me. In this novel, Adam is a humanoid who experiences emotions and can think. But Charlie as a human being struggle to adapt to the condition. The constant struggle between emotional capabilities of a robot and the human as a anthropocentric being is focused under the ethics of Robots and Humans.
