This important collection of essays by leading experts on the philosophy of dispositions refines and leverages the notion of \u003ci\u003eartificial disposition\u003c\/i\u003e to address pressing philosophical issues concerning AI and morality. * Samuel Kimpton-Nye, Lecturer in Philosophy, King’s College London, UK *\u003cbr\u003eThis book puts the spotlight on those dispositions that are so dear to design theory, engineering, and education, and yet underevaluated in much of the current debate on dispositions. Human enhancement, artificial intelligence, and artificial moral agency all find their discussion in this inspiring volume. * Ludger Jansen, Cusanus Chair of Philosophy, PTH Brixen College, Italy *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface Acknowledgments   Introduction, \u003ci\u003eWilliam A.
