This episode explores whether AI can embody moral values, challenging the neutrality thesis that argues technology is value-neutral. Focusing on artificial agents that make autonomous decisions, the episode discusses two methods for embedding moral values into AI: artificial conscience (training AI to evaluate morality) and ethical prompting (guiding AI with explicit ethical instructions). Using the MACHIAVELLI benchmark, the episode presents evidence showing that AI agents equipped with moral models make more ethical decisions. The episode concludes that AI can embody moral values, with important implications for AI development and use.https://arxiv.org/pdf/2408.12250
