‘AMA 앞에 선 인간’의 본질적 윤리성

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to reveal the “responsibility” of humans in the face of the emergence of “Artificial Moral Agent(AMA)” within the AI ecosystem. The AMA replace human functions and sometimes threaten the status and nature of human existence. The commentator approaches this phenomenon on an ontological level by distinguishing between the AMA and humans. In this study, Dewey’s instrumentalism is a framework for understanding the AI ecosystem. Based on this, the human-AMA relationship is summarized as follows. First, interactive relationships from a factual point of view, second, predominantly species relationships from an ontological point of view, and third, from a functionalist perspective, the humans and AMAs are roles as managers and practitioners, respectively. The key here is that within the AI ecosystem, ‘the human’ is the center of responsibility. Specifically, the realization of this responsibility should be envisioned in three main directions. First, efforts to realize human existence at the ethical level, second, maintenance of the system for the implementation of responsibility that takes into account ethical coherence at the level of science and technology, and third, cooperation at the ethical level and the science and technology level. Through these efforts, we will be able to stand tall as “the human beings in front of the AMA.”
