New framework ethically evaluates speech acts using AI

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a logical framework to ethically evaluate speech acts, particularly in high-stakes situations where lying might seem more moral than telling the truth. This framework, implemented using Answer Set Programming (ASP), assesses utterances based on agents' beliefs and considers deontologism, consequentialism, and principialism.

    Formalizing the Moral Evaluation of Speech Acts: Truthfulness, Lies and Ethical Dilemmas

    In life-or-death situations, a benevolent lie may appear more moral than telling the truth. Yet such lies can backfire, producing unintended and sometimes fatal consequences. This tension, famously disputed by Kant and Constant in 1797, applies not only to lying but to assertive …
