#Musk's #AI #Chatbot was asked whether Democrats or Republicans were better for the economy. “Since WWII, Democrats have outperformed Republicans on the economy,” the chatbot replied, racking up more than 33,000 likes. “GDP growth averages 4.23% under Dems vs. 2.36% under GOP. Job creation? 1.7% yearly for Dems, 1.0% for Republicans.”

“Also, 9 of the last 10 recessions started under Republican presidents,” it continued.

I made another foray into the ethics of AI, this time with my colleagues Jan-Willem van der Rijt and Bram Vaassen.

We argue that some interactions with chatbots involve a kind of offense to users' dignity. When we treat chatbots as if they were fellow moral agents, we enter into an asymmetrical relation where we give moral recognition but cannot get any back. This is a failure of self-respect, a form of self-debasement.

arXiv.orgAI Mimicry and Human Dignity: Chatbot Use as a Violation of Self-RespectThis paper investigates how human interactions with AI-powered chatbots may offend human dignity. Current chatbots, driven by large language models (LLMs), mimic human linguistic behaviour but lack the moral and rational capacities essential for genuine interpersonal respect. Human beings are prone to anthropomorphise chatbots. Indeed, chatbots appear to be deliberately designed to elicit that response. As a result, human beings' behaviour toward chatbots often resembles behaviours typical of interaction between moral agents. Drawing on a second-personal, relational account of dignity, we argue that interacting with chatbots in this way is incompatible with the dignity of users. We show that, since second-personal respect is premised on reciprocal recognition of second-personal authority, behaving towards chatbots in ways that convey second-personal respect is bound to misfire in morally problematic ways, given the lack of reciprocity. Consequently, such chatbot interactions amount to subtle but significant violations of self-respect: the respect we are dutybound to show for our own dignity. We illustrate this by discussing four actual chatbot use cases (information retrieval, customer service, advising, and companionship), and propound that the increasing societal pressure to engage in such interactions with chatbots poses a hitherto underappreciated threat to human dignity.

81% des travailleurs et travailleuses US n'utilisent pas l'IA au travail (genAI, chatbot). Celles et ceux qui le font travaillent souvent dans la donnée et dans le numérique.
