The meaningfulness gap in AI ethics
Technological outsourcing is increasingly prevalent, with AI systems taking over many tasks once performed by humans. This shift has led to various discussions within AI ethics. A question that was largely ignored until recently, but is now increasingly being discussed, concerns the meaningfulness of such a lifestyle. The literature largely features skeptical views, raising several challenges. Many of these challenges can be grouped under what I …
Why Care About Sustainable AI? Some Thoughts From The Debate on Meaning in Life
The focus of AI ethics has recently shifted towards the question of whether and how the use of AI technologies can promote sustainability. This new research question involves discerning the sustainability of AI itself and evaluating AI as a tool to achieve sustainable objectives. This article aims to examine the justifications that one might employ to advocate for promoting sustainable AI. Specifically, it concentrates on a dimension of often dis…
Expectable Outcome Deontology – A New Theory of Life’s Meaning
The question of what constitutes a meaningful life has recently regained attentionafter being largely neglected in the 20th century. A new debate in ethics, knownas the debate on meaning in life, has emerged around this question. In this article,I propose a new normative theory of meaningfulness, which I label as ExpectableOutcome Deontology (EOD), to contribute to this debate. EOD is an axiologicaltheory that evaluates lives based on the idea th…
Meaning in Life in AI Ethics—Some Trends and Perspectives
In this paper, we discuss the relation between recent philosophical discussions about meaning in life (from authors like Susan Wolf, Thaddeus Metz, and others) and the ethics of artificial intelligence (AI). Our goal is twofold, namely, to argue that considering the axiological category of meaningfulness can enrich AI ethics, on the one hand, and to portray and evaluate the small, but growing literature that already exists on the relation between…
Meaning and Morality
The debate on how an individual human life can be understood as being more or less meaningful has been pursued for a considerable time now. Despite extensive discussion some important aspects remain under-explored, namely the relation between meaningfulness and morality – even though many authors implicitly assume a connection between these two value dimensions. But how does morality contribute to a meaningful life? Is it a necessary condition? O…
