CONTACT:Psychology Reception
DESCRIPTION:As use of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more widespread
 \, machine systems are increasingly required not only to display artificia
 l intelligence but artificial morality too. AI is already used to aid deci
 sions about life support\, criminal sentencing\, and the allocation of sca
 rce medical resource\, and so-called “moral machines” are even being t
 hought to be able to act as “artificial moral advisors” by giving mora
 l advice and helping to improve human moral decision making. In this talk\
 , I will explore what it means to trust AI in the moral domain. Drawing on
  insights from social psychology and moral cognition\, I will discuss how 
 people conceptualise trust in AI\, how judgments of effectiveness and ethi
 cality intertwine\, and how perceptions of intelligence shape attributions
  of morality. I will consider how people trust “artificial moral advisor
 s\,” and how people trust other humans who rely on AI for socio-relation
 al tasks.  Drawing on these findings\, I will ask whether - and in what se
 nse - we should place trust in ‘moral’ machines\, and what kind of fut
 ure we are willing to accept as AI takes on roles that shape not only our 
 decisions\, but our relationships\, values\, and humanity itself.\n\nHost:
  Prof Simone Schnall (ss877@cam.ac.uk)\n\nThis talk will be recorded and u
 ploaded to the Zangwill Club "Youtube channel":https://www.youtube.com/@za
