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. She studies fields like Moral and Scientific Philosophy, Theology, Literature and Art. She has been interested in Art since very young age and began to study philosophy when she was just thirteen years old. Shary enjoys the combination of multiple subjects. She prefers to merge narrative perspective into artworks and establish a unique philosophical way to create spiritual art. Applying multidisciplinary learning approaches, she has developed a more comprehensive and diverse perspectives on the world that she wishes to share with others.
