AI agents' path from 'wantons' to moral reasoning explored

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

This theoretical post explores the transition of artificial agents from simple, instinct-driven behavior to moral reasoning. It introduces the concept of a 'wanton' from Harry Frankfurt's work, defining it as an agent moved by first-order desires without the capacity for reflective self-evaluation or the ability to choose which desires guide its will. The author posits that understanding this transition is crucial for developing AI that acts ethically and aligns with human values. AI
