In Honor of James Moor: A Grateful Retrospective

My comments begin with noting the primary, foundational contributions to computer ethics (CE) in its first decade or so made in Jim Moor’s 1985 paper “What is Computer Ethics,” I then turn to his still earlier paper, “Are There Decisions Computers Should Never Make” (1979). As with his 1985 paper, Moor deftly identified in 1979 several central elements that continue to define contemporary discussions of especially Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) Systems-discussions I approach primarily in terms of phronēis as a form of selfcorrecting ethical judgment. Thirdly, I note his equally pivotal contributions to theories of privacy as these have unfolded over the past 20 years or so. While by no means a complete summary of Moor’s contributions to these fields, these comments aim to foreground some of his most central and definitive ones from my perspective as a scholar and researcher in these domains.
