The virtuous technologist
To implement an Aristotelian virtue ethics framework to live well with artificial intelligence (as described in Smith & Vickers, 2024), we need teachers who can serve as mentors and role models for the next generation. Finding mentors who can teach both technical expertise and model ethical deployment of that expertise is challenging, and Aristotle provides few hints on how to uncover such mentors. The account of expertise in Plato’s Gorgias seem…
Living well with AI
Artificial intelligence technologies have become a ubiquitous part of human life. This prompts us to ask, ‘how should we live well with artificial intelligence?’ Currently, the most prominent candidate answers to this question are principlist. According to these approaches, if you teach people some finite set of principles or convince them to adopt the right rules, people will be able to live and act well with artificial intelligence, even in an …
Statistically responsible artificial intelligences
As artificial intelligence (AI) becomes ubiquitous, it will be increasingly involved in novel, morally significant situations. Thus, understanding what it means for a machine to be morally responsible is important for machine ethics. Any method for ascribing moral responsibility to AI must be intelligible and intuitive to the humans who interact with it. We argue that the appropriate approach is to determine how AIs might fare on a standard accou…
