Abstract in brief

  • Developing artificial moral agents prematurely may negatively impact human social systems and moral values by reinforcing inequalities, limiting ethical diversity, and undervaluing character.
  • The first risk involves creating moral replicas to improve efficiency, which could worsen social inequalities, as only those who can afford these replicas would benefit, leaving disadvantaged groups behind.
  • The second and third risks highlight that moral calculators and AMAs could reduce the complexity and depth of moral reasoning, leading to narrower moral debates and a diminished focus on inner moral development and character.
