When it comes to tackling the complex questions of humanity and morality, can AI make the world more moral?<\/p>\n
Morality is one of the most deeply human considerations in existence. The very nature of the human condition pushes us to try to distinguish right from wrong, and the existence of other humans pushes us to treat others by those values.<\/p>\n
What is good and what is right are questions usually reserved for philosophers and religious or cultural leaders. But as artificial intelligence weaves itself into nearly every aspect of our lives, it is time to consider the implications of AI on morality, and morality on AI.<\/p>\n
There are many conversations around the importance of\u00a0making AI moral<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0programming morality into AI<\/a>. For example, how should a\u00a0self-driving car handle the terrible choice<\/a>\u00a0between hitting two different people on the road? These are interesting questions, but they presuppose that we\u2019ve agreed on a clear moral framework. Though some universal maxims exist in most modern cultures (don\u2019t murder, don\u2019t steal, don\u2019t lie), there is no single \u201cperfect\u201d system of morality with which everyone agrees.<\/p>\n But AI could help us create one.<\/p>\n Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n We can train #AI<\/a> to identify good and evil, and then use it to teach us morality https:\/\/t.co\/gRnhNvnwUh<\/a><\/p>\n — SwissCognitive – The Global AI Hub (@SwissCognitive) April 6, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
