ABSTRACT
The procedurality and programmability of digital media refer to the binary representation and rule-based manipulations that undergird digital media. The binary nature of digital information structures not only the programmability of digital media but also its procedurality, key properties of the digital that challenge traditional ethical concerns that have been grounded in ontological conceptions of the uniqueness of media objects. Robotics and the moral algorithms that are developing to guide them are explored through both a case study and a thought experiment in this chapter.
