Does AI Share Same Ethic with Human Being? From the Perspective of Virtue Ethics

摘要

From the perspective of virtue ethics, this paper points out that Artificial Intelligence becomes more and more like an ethic subject which can take responsibility with its improvement of autonomy and sensitivity. This paper intends to point out that it will produce many problems to tackle the questions of ethics of Artificial Intelligence through programming the codes of abstract moral principle. It is at first a social integration question rather than a technical question when we talk about the question of AI's ethics. From the perspective of historical and social premises of ethics, in what kind of degree Artificial Intelligence can share the same ethics system with human equals to the degree of its integration into the narrative of human's society. And this is also a process of establishing a common social cooperation system between human and Artificial Intelligence. Furthermore, self-consciousness and responsibility are also social conceptions that established by recognition, and the Artificial Intelligence's identity for its individual social role is also established in the process of integration.
