The Ethical Imagination and Boundaries of Contemporary Large-scale AI Models Driven by Moral Autonomy

Autonomy is the core basis for the occurrence of moral behavior, and the discussion of ethics has derived different positions from the abstract concept of freedom. Considering the various application scenarios of technology moralization from the development trend of the large model of artificial intelligence, we can timely reflect on the subjective dimension of people’s actions and thinking under the influence of digital technology. The embedding of digital technology does not change the substance of behavior choice, but changes people’s thought mode and the conceptual background of moral action. The moralization of digital technology is a significant trend in the current application of artificial intelligence. On the one hand, moral elements are written into algorithms, so that people can make more ethical choices in the process of applying artificial intelligence. On the other hand, the autonomy of action has also undergone morphological changes due to the intervention of digital technology. With the defense of the moral enhancement of biotechnology, it can be found that the moralization of artificial intelligence algorithm has changed the autonomous form of traditional ethics, and then triggered a new ethical imagination. The moralization of digital technology is a subtle “boost” in essence, providing a new impetus for the paradigm reconstruction of ideological ethics.
