AI责任需重构:系统中人与智能体共担伦理角色
Delegating Responsibilities to Intelligent Autonomous Systems: Challenges and Benefits
- 将责任视为系统角色,而非个人属性,实现人机协同责任分配
- 提出'AI伦理设计'框架,用高阶道义逻辑让AI评估决策伦理
- 适合关注AI伦理、人机协作的政策制定者与技术开发者
随着人工智能系统自主性与适应性的增强,传统技术社会系统中的道德责任边界正面临挑战。本文探讨了将责任委托给智能自主代理的演进讨论及其伦理影响。结合人工智能伦理领域的最新进展,包括责任分布式和伦理设计等概念,论文提出一种功能主义视角作为框架。该视角认为,道德责任并非个体特质,而是社会技术系统中的一种角色,可在人类与人工代理间分布。以‘AI伦理设计’为例,Basti和Vitiello的实现表明,AI可通过学习伦理准则并运用道义高阶逻辑评估决策的伦理合理性。鉴于其超越人类监督的速度与规模潜力及伦理影响,论文主张推行‘AI伦理设计’,同时承认责任的分布性、共享性和动态性。这一功能主义方法为快速演变的技术环境中应对人工智能伦理复杂性提供了实用框架。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
As AI systems increasingly operate with autonomy and adaptability, the traditional boundaries of moral responsibility in techno-social systems are being challenged. This paper explores the evolving discourse on the delegation of responsibilities to intelligent autonomous agents and the ethical implications of such practices. Synthesizing recent developments in AI ethics, including concepts of distributed responsibility and ethical AI by design, the paper proposes a functionalist perspective as a framework. This perspective views moral responsibility not as an individual trait but as a role within a socio-technical system, distributed among human and artificial agents. As an example of 'AI ethical by design,' we present Basti and Vitiello's implementation. They suggest that AI can act as artificial moral agents by learning ethical guidelines and using Deontic Higher-Order Logic to assess decisions ethically. Motivated by the possible speed and scale beyond human supervision and ethical implications, the paper argues for 'AI ethical by design', while acknowledging the distributed, shared, and dynamic nature of responsibility. This functionalist approach offers a practical framework for navigating the complexities of AI ethics in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
