Ethical Misconceptions and Unveiling in the Age of Artificial Intelligence
The pursuit of a better life in the age of artificial intelligence(AI)is inseparable from ethical considerations.Ethics serves not only as an integrator of AI rationality and a guide for AI development but also as a deterrent against AI-related crimes.While AI brings about inclusive benefits of technological advancement,it concurrently triggers a spectrum of ethical misconceptions,including the loss of human values,the disorder of moral order,the abolition of moral responsibility,the decline of moral freedom,and the lack of moral trust.Consequently,defending the moral subject status of human beings requires reinforcing people's awareness of their own meaning of existence,nurturing their humanistic awareness,and enhancing their moral reasoning capabilities so that human beings can become users and reviewers of morality in the age of AI.Establishing ethical norms for AI research and application is essential to restore value rationality and achieve a balance between instrumental and value rationality.Constructing a robust legal framework for algorithms,encompassing optimized algorithm design,standardized algorithm use,and strengthened algorithm supervision,is crucial to ensuring the legality,fairness,and transparency of algorithms,thereby effectively upholding ethical order in the age of AI.Moreover,embedding ethical principles into the design of intelligent machines endows AI with moral sense,facilitating the reshaping of a new harmonious and inclusive human-machine relationship from a"shift of focus"perspective.This approach contributes to the creation of a mutually beneficial scenario for the development of AI and the enhancement of human well-being.
