RE: Consequentialism and big data, the need for intelligent machines to assist with moral decision making
Why is it when the topic is morality that so many cannot see also that the same processes are at work?
People view morality as an inherently human attribute. Changing this perception will be one tough task going ahead in a future where humanoids with "artificial" intelligence will be among us.
The catch 22 is that humans aren't cognitively capable of being moral. The morality humans put forth as the standard to follow is impossible for any human to be. So in essence, do we want to accept that we are all evil, and all monsters, or do we want to try to be better?
If we just create transparency without an actual capability of being moral then what good is that? We will all get to look like ignorant monsters sooner or later. What exactly will improve?
