Can an Intelligent Robot Be Able to Have Ethical Features?
Может ли интеллектуальный робот обладать этическими свойствами?
This academic article explores whether an intelligent robot can possess ethical properties, focusing on the ethical challenges of developing artificial general intelligence. The authors propose using specific activity-based models to allow the algorithmic implementation of ethical functions, while noting the role of reinforcement learning and physiological pain mechanisms in forming moral behavior. Published in Voprosy Filosofii in September 2022, the paper addresses foundational questions in AI ethics and artificial moral agents.
Summary and content fields are drawn from the document text and are pending editorial review.
Who issued it
Who it governs
Researchers and academics interested in the philosophy of artificial intelligence and artificial moral agents should read this to understand theoretical approaches to machine ethics.
What the document contains
The article discusses the philosophical and technical challenges of embedding ethical features into intelligent robots and artificial general intelligence agents, proposing activity-based models and reinforcement learning frameworks.
It contains no legal regulations, binding standards, enforcement mechanisms, or practical compliance codes for AI deployment.
- Ethical research into AI becomes extremely relevant when considering the creation of artificial general intelligence systems of human level.
- Ethics cannot easily provide engineers with a normative system in the form of a hierarchized architecture for computational implementation.
- Designing autonomous general AI systems can potentially avoid normative uncertainties by constructing particular models based on an activity classifier.
- Future research on artificial moral agents must account for the continuity of any algorithmic model of an ethical system.
