In this paper, I draw on Hannah Arendt’s notion of ‘banality of evil’ to argue that as long as AI systems are designed to follow codes of ethics or particular normative ethical theories chosen by us and programmed in them, they are Eichmanns destined to commit evil. Since intelligence alone is not sufficient for ethical decision making, rather than strive to program AI to determine the right ethical decision based on some ethical theory or criteria, AI should be concerned with avoiding making the wrong decisions, and this requires hardwiring the thinking activity as a prerequisite for decision making.

人工智能伦理与邪恶的平庸

在本文中，我借鉴了汉娜·阿伦特（Hannah Arendt）的“邪恶平庸”概念，认为只要AI系统旨在遵循我们选择并在其中编程的道德规范或特定规范性道德理论，它们就是艾希曼（Eichmanns）注定要犯的错误邪恶。由于仅凭智力不足以做出道德决策，而不是努力使AI编程以基于某些道德理论或准则来确定正确的道德决策，因此AI应该关注避免做出错误的决策，这需要认真思考。决策的前提条件。
