In this piece, Prof. De Cremer adopts a human-centred approach making clear that our tendency to anthropomorphize machines, creates a dialogue where we position machines in such a way that the outcomes deriving from their decisions are believed to influence the morals of humans (i.e. can corrupt our morals). He argues that this is not possible as AI – at the moment – is a tool that translates human values into reality and is not capable of subtle social interactions, as such making that the status of a moral role model cannot be attributed to a machine.
