ABSTRACT

This paper seeks to explore the possibilities and limitations of Moral AI by placing ‘Moral AI/AMA’ in an immoral society instead of the ‘Moral Man’ of Reinhold Niebuhr. To this end, this paper will investigate the following questions. First, can artificial intelligence become a more moral being than humans? Second, can Moral AI transcend the limits of collective egoism within an immoral society? In response to these questions, I argue that if Moral AI is developed in the future, it may be able to remain a moral being in situations such as intimate relationships, problem solvings, or clear pursuit of common good. However, when Moral AI interacts with humans in society, it is assumed that it will be impossible for it to completely transcend the influence of humans' collective egoism. Nevertheless, the assumption that Moral AI has the possibility of becoming relatively more virtuous than humans in various relationships in the fuꠓture provides some hope for a more just future.
