Synthetic Deliberation: Can Emulated Imagination Enhance Machine Ethics?

Artificial intelligence is becoming increasingly entwined with our daily lives: AIs work as assistants through our phones, control our vehicles, and navigate our vacuums. As these objects become more complex and work within our societies in ways that affect our well-being, there is a growing demand for machine ethics—we want a guarantee that the various automata in our lives will behave in a way that minimizes the amount of harm they create. Though many technologies exist as moral artifacts (and perhaps moral agents), the development of a truly ethical AI system is highly contentious; theorists have proposed and critiqued countless possibilities for programming these agents to become ethical. Many of these arguments, however, presuppose the possibility that an artificially intelligent system can actually be ethical. In this essay, I will explore a potential path to AI ethics by considering the role of imagination in the deliberative process via the work of John Dewey and his interpreters, showcasing one form of reinforcement learning that mimics imaginative deliberation. With these components in place, I contend that such an artificial agent is capable of something very near ethical behavior—close enough that we may consider it so.

综合审议:模拟想象力能否增强机器伦理?

人工智能正越来越多地与我们的日常生活交织在一起:人工智能通过我们的手机充当助手、控制我们的车辆并导航我们的吸尘器。随着这些对象变得越来越复杂并以影响我们福祉的方式在我们的社会中发挥作用,对机器伦理的需求不断增长——我们希望保证我们生活中的各种自动机将以最小化数量的方式运行他们造成的伤害。尽管许多技术是作为道德产物(也许还有道德代理)存在的,但开发真正符合道德的 AI 系统仍存在很大争议。理论家已经提出并批评了无数将这些代理编程为符合道德的可能性。然而,许多这些论点都以人工智能系统实际上可以合乎道德的可能性为前提。在这篇论文中,我将通过约翰杜威和他的解释者的工作来考虑想象力在审议过程中的作用,探索人工智能伦理的潜在途径,展示一种模仿想象审议的强化学习形式。有了这些组件,我认为这样的人工代理能够做出非常接近道德的行为——足够接近我们可能会认为它如此。
