Should We Blame AI?
Should we blame AI computer systems when they cause harm or unjust outcomes? Does it depend on whether AIs have free will or exhibit morally responsible agency -- whatever it is that makes adults like you and me blame-worthy in ways that babies or animals are not? In "The Point of Blaming AI Systems" Altehenger and Menges give a case for blaming AI regardless of whether AIs are blameworthy. I discuss their argument and counter-arguments with Pamela Hieronymi (UCLA)
