Artificial Intelligence & Moral Philosophy | Shary Zhang | TEDxYouth@YCYWShanghai
Here, the speaker discusses AI’s role in moral decisions, noting its limitations. Firstly, AI helps analyse choices but cannot fully understand human values. In ethical problems, AI often selects utilitarian options, treating lives as numbers, which risks undermining dignity and normalising harmful logic. True "intelligent" AI should support human judgment, not replace it. While AI assists reasoning, moral decisions require emotions, intuition, and real-life experience. We must balance technology with ethics to ensure that progress respects humanity. Shary is a high school student studying in Shanghai, China.
