Abstract in brief

  • The article discusses how traditional moral psychology, which was originally centered around humans, other animals, and supernatural beings, now needs to include artificial intelligence due to advances in AI technology.
  • It explains that AI can serve as moral agents (making decisions impacting humans), moral patients (whose outcomes are affected by human decisions), and moral proxies (representatives or disguises in moral interactions), each with different moral roles.
  • The review highlights recent research on AI's moral roles, exploring what has been discovered so far and identifying open questions for future study in understanding AI's place in moral psychology.]

In this survey paper, the emphasis appears to be on use of AI without agency, that is, use of trained NNs to implement algorithms that are deemed to be making moral decisions, but only on behalf of some controller. https://t.co/pMW88LM08s
