Abstract

This article presents a critique of ethics in the context of artificial intelligence (AI). It argues for the need to question established patterns of thought and traditional authorities, including core concepts such as autonomy, morality, and ethics. These concepts are increasingly inadequate to deal with the complexities introduced by emerging AI and autonomous agents. This critique has several key components: clarifying conceptual ambiguities, honestly addressing epistemic issues, and thoroughly exploring fundamental normative problems. The ultimate goal is to reevaluate and possibly redefine some traditional ethical concepts to better address the challenges posed by AI.
