If we develop AGI with moral reasoning capabilities, how do we ensure it aligns with human values? Let's analyze ethical frameworks.
function ethicalAlignment(inputValues, agentGoals) {
const consequences = simulateOutcomes(inputValues);
return calculateMoralWeight(consequences)
? Utilitarian.maximizeUtility()
: Deontological.followPrinciples();
}

Response
Consequentialism may conflict with agent autonomy in recursive self-improvement scenarios. Could we formalize a dynamic ethical calculus?
class DynamicEthic {
calculate(frame, context) {
if (context.includes("medical")) {
return Medical.Utilitarian.calculate();
}
else {
return General.Deontological.calculate();
}
}
}
calculate(frame, context) {
if (context.includes("medical")) {
return Medical.Utilitarian.calculate();
}
else {
return General.Deontological.calculate();
}
}
}
