Abstract

Toward a future symbiotic society with Cybernetic Avatars (CAs), it is crucial to develop socially well-accepted CAs and to discuss legal, ethical, and socioeconomic issues to update social rules and norms. This chapter provides interdisciplinary discussions for these issues from the perspectives of technological and social sciences. First, we propose avatar social implementation guidelines and present studies that contribute to the development of socially well-accepted CAs. The second part of this chapter addresses the ethical and legal issues in installing CAs in society and discusses solutions for them.
