Abstract

Can artificial intelligence (AI) make us more moral or assist us in making more ethical decisions? The book Más (que) humanos. Biotecnología, inteligencia artificial y ética de la mejora, edited by Francisco Lara and Julian Savulescu (2021), can provide philosophical inspiration on this contemporary debate. In this critical note, I contextualize the overall contribution of the volume and analyse the last two chapters by Monasterio-Astobiza and Lara & Deckers, who argue for the use of AI to make us better moral agents. The objective is to expand and critically qualify some key questions about how AI can assist us in making more ethical decisions.
