The paper examines four kinds of principles for machine morality. (1) exceptionless principles covering all cases and features (e.g. Kantianism, consequentialism); 2) a plurality of midlevel prima facie-principles concerning one act-in-a-situation type (Ross, Beauchamp & Childress, applied to robotics by Anderson & Anderson), as well as their typical enabling and disabling conditions; 3) priority principles concerning the midlevel principles (e.g. F.M. Kamm, Asimov's Laws); 4), overall judgements in situations when everything relevant is taken into account, stressed by particularists (Dancy, cf. Guarini). The paper argues that (2) is best achievable and possibly useful even in the absence of overall judgements of type (4).
