\u201cCan a robot be a good colleague? Revisiting the Question\u201d: Back in 2020, my colleague Jilles Smids and I published a paper about whether a robot could live up to the ideal of being a good colleague. While many HTI researchers have investigated the psychology of human-robot interaction in the workplace, there had been very little analysis within philosophy about whether it makes sense to think of a robot as a colleague before our paper came out. Notably, there had also been very little philosophical work, more generally, about what it is be a good colleague. In 2021, however, the philosophers Monika Betzler and J\u00f6rg L\u00f6schke published an interesting philosophy paper about what they call collegial relationships and the values associated with collegiality. In my presentation, I will revisit the question that Smids and I asked about whether robots can be good colleagues, and I will relate our argument to the ideas presented by Betzler and L\u00f6schke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
