Description
Based on Adam Ford’s exploration of AI ethics (Science, Technology & the Future), AI could potentially become "supermoral" by bypassing human biases, but this requires solving deep alignment challenges to ensure it adheres to objective moral truths rather than harmful, misaligned goals.
To take seriously the idea that AI could become more moral than us is to take seriously the idea that our current moral condition is not the benchmark we hoped it was. It is to admit that humanity may be improvable in ways deeper than better policy slogans or cleaner preference aggregation. It is to consider that our moral judgements may be partial, path-dependent, and in places badly compromised. And it is to accept that genuine moral progress may not always look like a more efficient execution of whatever we already happen to want.
