| Abstract [eng] |
The aim of this paper is to reveal the relation between the power of radical imagination and its impact on ethics of AI. The radical imagination is understood as profoundly dialogic, creative power existing only through collective, critical encounters. One of the main social and ethical challenges for radical imagination is rethinking of existence of ethical AI. The main issues the paper deals with are: 1. How might we assess whether, and in what circumstances, AIs themselves have moral status? 2. How AIs might differ from humans in certain basic respects relevant to our ethical assessment of them? 3. Is it possible to create AIs more intelligent than human, and ensuring that they use their advanced intelligence for good rather than ill? We argue that there is a strong parallel between ethical intention of radical imagination and those behind human codes of ethics for various professions: they are used to openly and transparently communicate to the outside world what are the norms and values in a particular profession, and by doing that to earn trust and acceptance from outside. |
