Abstract
The concept of morality underpins the moral responsibility that not only depends on
the outward practices (or ‘output’, in the case of humanoid robots) of the agents but on the internal
attitudes (‘input’) that rational and responsible intentioned beings generate. The primary question
that has initiated extensive debate, i.e. ‘Can humanoid robots be moral?’, stems from the normative
outlook where morality includes human conscience and socio-linguistic background. This
paper advances the thesis that the conceptions of morality and creativity interplay with linguistic
human beings instead of non-linguistic humanoid robots, as humanoid robots are indeed docile
automata that cannot be responsible for their actions. To eradicate human ethics in order to make
way for humanoid robot ethics highlights the moral actions and adequacy that hinges the myth of
creative agency and self-dependency, which a humanoid robot can scarcely express.
