Full ethical agents: Machines that are ethical in the same way humans are (i.e.Explicit ethical agents: Machines which have algorithms to act ethical.Implicit ethical agents: machines constrained to avoid unethical outcomes.Thus the Goodman agent was an ethical impact agent before 2000, and an unethical impact agent thereafter." The Goodman agent compares dates "this was generated by programming yearly dates using only the last two digits of the year, which resulted in dates beyond 2000 being misleadingly treated as earlier than those in the late twentieth century. He gives the example of what he calls a 'Goodman agent', named after philosopher Nelson Goodman. Certain agents can be unethical impact agents at certain times and ethical impact agents at other times. As well as Ethical impact agents there are Unethical impact agents. Moor gives the example of a watch causing a worker to be on work on time. Ethical impact agents: machine systems carrying an ethical impact whether intended or not.A machine can be more than one type of agent. Moor lists four kinds of robots in relation to ethics. Moor was the editor-in-chief of Minds and Machines (2001-2010), a peer-reviewed academic journal covering artificial intelligence, philosophy, and cognitive science. His research includes study in philosophy of artificial intelligence, philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and logic. He has also written extensively on the Turing Test. Moor's 1985 paper entitled "What is Computer Ethics?" established him as one of the pioneering theoreticians in the field of computer ethics.
