- Abstract:
- There are mainly three types of understanding of the moral judgement on artificial intelligence (AI).In this paper, we argue that the moral judgement of AI should be based on the distinction of two issues, i.e.the judgement on AI itself and the evaluation of AI development and application. These are two independentissues but at the same time they are closely connected with each other: The former concerns the premise ofmoral judgement on AI, i.e. whether or not AI is an entity with personality and a morality subject in a realsense; the latter’ s solution, however, depends totally on the human beings themselves. Moral judgments can bemade only on the critical reflection on the relations between human beings and AI systematically. Specifically,prudent attitudes towards AI should be taken. First,‘ weak AI’ should be developed and applied vigorously,while‘ strong AI’ and‘ super strong AI’ should be restricted, and in particular the development of‘ humankilling robots’ should be restricted and prohibited. Second, international communities and industry associationsshould formulate norms guiding the development and application of AI at different stages, establish ethicalstandards and relevant laws and regulations governing the development of AI, hence a healthy developmentof AI. Third, the technicians should cultivate the consciousness of morality and social responsibility, followthe scientific and technological ethics and professional ethics, and carry out the obligation of‘ notification andprecaution.’
