AI辅助伦理研究需透明流程,否则无法评估作者的哲学立场。
The Journal of Prompt-Engineered (Moral) Philosophy Or: Why AI-Assisted Ethics Research Requires Process Transparency
- 以作者哲学立场的可理解性为透明核心,强调过程记录而非仅输出
- 提出五要素透明框架,涵盖声明、导航、文档账目等环节
- 适合关注AI伦理研究可信度与方法论严谨性的学者
当前学术界对AI使用的披露要求仅规定需报告辅助行为,却未阐明其哲学意义:义务存在但目的不明。我们指出,伦理探究在两个层面本质上具有争议——何为伦理探究,以及它对探究者提出何种要求——这使得仅评价结果或以功利主义方式否定透明性均不成立,也驳斥了从实证科学借用可复现性框架的做法。透明义务应基于作者主体完整性:让同行能识别作者哲学方式所体现的身份建构承诺。由于评价标准尚未达成共识,透明的目标并非对照统一准则评判,而是追踪——积累证据记录,使各思想传统能依自身标准评估成果,并为未来规范判断提供可能。本文提出一个文档充分性框架,通过五个透明要素(声明、导航、文档账目、过程记录、开发记录)实现有意义的人类控制,该论文本身即示范应用,完整文档已存档于持久标识符。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Existing AI disclosure mandates in scholarship require that AI assistance be reported but leave transparency philosophically unspecified: they fix the duty without explaining what the duty serves. We argue that ethical inquiry is essentially contested at two independent levels -- about what it is, and about what it demands of the inquirer -- defeating output-only evaluation and welfare-economic dismissal of the transparency question, and, by extension, reproducibility framings imported from the empirical sciences. The transparency duty is grounded instead in agent-integrity: the legibility, before a community of inquiry, of the identity-constituting commitments that the author's mode of philosophising expresses. Because the standards for evaluating such work are not communally settled, the achievable goal for transparency is not evaluation against agreed criteria but tracking -- accumulating the evidentiary record that lets each tradition assess the work on its own terms and makes future normative judgments possible. We develop a documentation-adequacy framework that operationalises Meaningful Human Control through five transparency elements -- declaration, navigation, documentation account, process documentation, and development records -- demonstrated by the paper itself, whose full documentation record is archived at a persistent identifier. The framework is a first iteration subject to revision, not a settled standard.
