Researchers have introduced a formal framework called Bounded Morality to analyze the computational requirements of moral decision-making for finite agents. This framework extends the concept of bounded rationality by considering moral breadth (the scope of morally relevant entities) and moral depth (the inferential complexity of evaluating interactions). The model suggests that ethical theories represent efficient strategies adapted to resource constraints rather than absolute truths, and that achieving moral alignment in AI hinges on allocating moral reasoning capacity rather than merely mimicking human judgments.

IMPACT This framework suggests that AI moral alignment depends on reasoning capacity allocation, not just imitation of human judgments.
