论文摘要
尽管已反复提出美德伦理作为用于发展人工道德代理(AMA)的合适框架,但事实证明,从计算的角度来看,它很难接近。在这项工作中,我们介绍了道德模拟中人造贤惠剂(AVA)的第一个技术实施。首先,我们回顾了人造美德伦理学的先前概念和技术工作,并根据倾向的美德,自下而上的学习和自上而下的Eudaimonic奖励来描述AVA的功能主义途径。然后,我们根据公共场景的悲剧在道德模拟中提供技术实施的详细信息。实验结果表明,Avas如何学会解决合作问题,同时展示其理论对应物的核心特征,包括道德特征,性格美德,从经验中学习以及追求Eudaimonia。最终,我们认为美德伦理为道德上出色的机器提供了令人信服的途径,我们的工作为这种努力提供了重要的起点。
Although virtue ethics has repeatedly been proposed as a suitable framework for the development of artificial moral agents (AMAs), it has been proven difficult to approach from a computational perspective. In this work, we present the first technical implementation of artificial virtuous agents (AVAs) in moral simulations. First, we review previous conceptual and technical work in artificial virtue ethics and describe a functionalistic path to AVAs based on dispositional virtues, bottom-up learning, and top-down eudaimonic reward. We then provide the details of a technical implementation in a moral simulation based on a tragedy of the commons scenario. The experimental results show how the AVAs learn to tackle cooperation problems while exhibiting core features of their theoretical counterpart, including moral character, dispositional virtues, learning from experience, and the pursuit of eudaimonia. Ultimately, we argue that virtue ethics provides a compelling path toward morally excellent machines and that our work provides an important starting point for such endeavors.
