<Abstract>
This study attempts to develop theoretical criteria for verifying the morality of the actions of artificial intelligent agents, using the Turing test as an archetype and inspiration. This study develops ethical criteria established based on Kohlberg’s moral development theory that might help determine the types of moral acts committed by artificial intelligent agents. Subsequently, it leverages these criteria in a test experiment with Korean children aged around ten years. The study concludes that the 10-year-old test participants’ stage of moral development falls between the first and second types of moral acts in moral Turing tests. We evaluate the moral behavior type experiment by applying it to Korean elementary school students aged about ten years old. Moreover, this study argues that if a similar degree of reaction is obtained by applying this experiment to future healthcare robots, this healthcare robot can be recognized as passing the moral Turing test.
