With the development of techniques and math algorithms, Virtual Reality also grows rapidly. People may prioritize the virtual world over the actual one if they use VR frequently and over an extended period of time. If an action is performed remotely by a robot controlled by an interface or a virtual body, it should be obvious what the legal and ethical obligations are. Perhaps the math algorithms (what makes an algorithm ethical or unethical? What determines this ethics? Saving the most lives? Being the least racist? Making the most accurate predictions?) that underpin these techniques should be taken into account ethically from the outset.
