Unwinding AI's Moral Maze: Hypertext's Ethical Potential
This paper considers hypertext in its various forms as a paradigm that has the potential to reduce a number of ethical concerns that come with (generative) AI. Based on a user scenario, the paper points out some ethical issues and explains how they can be addressed by hypertext. To do so, it distinguishes between System 1 (fast automation of simple tasks) and System 2 (critical thinking) tasks. Drawing on existing publications in philosophy, the paper argues that AI systems cannot be moral agents; they cannot be trustworthy or truly intelligent. This breaks with some of the wording, partly used for marketing purposes, that currently makes “artificial intelligence” a hype. The analysis follow- doi
