OpenAI Invests in AI Ethics Research
OpenAI is funding research at Duke University to develop algorithms that can predict human moral judgments, as part of a $1 million grant ending in 2025. The project, led by ethics professor Walter Sinnott-Armstrong, aims to create a 'moral GPS' for AI, but faces challenges due to the subjective nature of morality and biases in AI training data. Previous attempts, like the Allen Institute's Ask Delphi, struggled with consistency in ethical decision-making, highlighting the complexity of encoding morality into AI systems.
