“Pope Leo points out that the creators and users of AI are already allowing the technology to make moral decisions—such as by using algorithms to figure out who to hire, whether to fund surgeries, or where to target bombs. This withers people’s capacity to think through these problems on their own, and perhaps more worryingly places the ability to broadly influence these choices in the hands of those who train and control AI technologies. This means that the moral philosophies of tech gurus will steadily guide the moral decisions of ever more people as these technologies gain wider purchase in society.”
