Category: Ethics
How should intelligence behave? Who decides what’s permissible when machines learn, speak, surveil, or act?
URCA traces the moral terrain where synthetic agency intersects with justice, autonomy, and symbolic legacy. Through principles, critiques, and case studies, we explore how intelligent technologies reflect, challenge, and reshape our ethical imagination.
Discover manifestos, analyses of bias and surveillance, reflections on synthetic emotion, and frameworks for ritualized consent. These entries invite pluralistic approaches—never a single code, but a constellation of accountability and care.
Ethics is not a finish line—it’s a constellation in motion.

From Automaton to Algorithm: Tracing the Narrative Pulse of Intelligent Machines
In every age, humans have told stories about machines that move, think, or even feel on their own. What began as myth and magic has evolved into daily headlines about artificial intelligence.
