- Course objectives
- The seminar uses the example of artificial intelligence (AI) to explain the importance of Rand’s virtue ethics. The recent public discourse on imbuing AI with ethical premises highlighted just how important moral philosophy is for human flourishing – and how unsolved our competing ethical systems are. Even for human use, but definitely for machines. According to virtue ethicists, such as Rand, philosophy has a duty to illuminate and guide real life. Applying various branches of philosophy are part of the job. Accordingly, Ayn Rand’s moral philosophy and epistemology have a lot to say about artificial intelligence development. This seminar aims at introducing students to the philosophy of Ayn Rand with special emphasis on the application of her virtue ethics on the field of AI.
