OpenAI is funding research into ‘AI morality’
OpenAI is funding academic research at Duke into algorithms that can predict humans' moral judgements.
The study’s principal investigator, Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, a practical ethics professor at Duke, told TechCrunch via email that he “will not be able to talk” about the work. Sinnott-Armstrong and the project’s co-investigator, Jana Borg, have produced several studies — and a book — about AI’s potential to serve as a “moral GPS” to help humans make better judgements. As part of larger teams, they’ve created a “morally-aligned” algorithm to help decide who receives kidney donations, and studied in which scenarios people would prefer that AI make moral decisions.
