Correlation of Christian ethics and developments in artificial intelligence.

CHRISTIAN ethics; ARTIFICIAL intelligence; MORAL norms; TECHNOLOGICAL innovations; VALUES (Ethics)

In the traditional understanding, Christian ethics touches upon issues of morality and the general structure of a human as a person. At the same time, Christian ethics does not touch upon questions and does not impose restrictions on the development of scientific principles and methodological structures of knowledge of the surrounding world. That is, Christian ethics allows and encourages the exploration of created space. The novelty of the study is fact that the understanding of the importance of artificial intelligence is based primarily on the belief that there is a need to develop boundaries where artificial intelligence is capable of making a decision that will not be approved by humans. The authors show that the creation of such a technology runs counter to the values of a religious nature and Christianity, in particular, due to the representation of freedom of technology, which has moral convictions not based on the principles of humanism. The study compares and develops the main criteria for correlating the sufficiency of ethical norms and the requirements of technological advancement. A promising question for further discussion is the question of the artificial intelligence's deliberate lack of attachment to a particular morality, including extreme or aggressive worldviews.
