After 25 Years Studying AI Ethics, Here’s What Terrifies Him Most

Описание: He has spent 25 years studying AI ethics, long before ChatGPT, before the hype, before the panic.

In this conversation, Yale ethicist and Moral Machines author Wendell Wallach explains why the real danger of artificial intelligence is not superintelligence. It is the absence of moral intelligence.

Drawing on decades at the intersection of philosophy, technology, and AI governance, including collaborations with Stuart Russell, Yann LeCun, and Daniel Kahneman, Wallach reveals:

• Why we underestimated AI’s speed
• Why we overestimate its understanding
• Why artificial general intelligence, AGI, is a dangerously incomplete goal
• Who is truly accountable when AI systems cause harm
• Why the military race around AI should concern everyone
• The one moral habit young researchers must cultivate
• His silent ethic, the decision making principle that shaped his life

This is not AI hype.
It is not AI doom.

It is a grounded conversation about responsibility, character, and what it means to stay human in the digital age.

Can AI ever develop moral intelligence, or is that uniquely human?
