MoralDM: A Computational Model of Moral Decision-Making
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a cognitively motivated model of moral decisionmaking, MoralDM, which models psychological findings about utilitarian and deontological modes of reasoning. Current theories of moral decision-making extend beyond pure utilitarian models by including contextual factors that vary culturally. Our model employs both first-principles reasoning and analogical reasoning to implement rules of moral decisionmaking and compare previously solved cases to novel situations. The different impacts of secular versus sacred values are modeled via qualitative reasoning, using an order of magnitude representation. We evaluate MoralDM on stimuli taken from two psychology experiments.

An Integrated Reasoning Approach to Moral Decision-Making
We present a computational model, MoralDM, which integrates several AI techniques in order to model recent psychological findings on moral decision-making. Current theories of moral decision-making extend beyond pure utilitarian models by relying on contextual factors that vary with culture. MoralDM uses a natural language system to produce formal representations from psychological stimuli, to ...

The study of decision making has been dominated by economic perspectives, which model people as rational agents who carefully weigh costs and benefits and try to maximize the utility of every choice, without consideration of issues such as cultural norms, religious beliefs and moral rules. However, psychological findings indicate that in many situations people are not rational decision makers a...
متن کاملMoral Decision-Making by Analogy: Generalizations vs. Exemplars
Moral reasoning is important to model accurately as AI systems become ever more integrated into our lives. Moral reasoning is rapid and unconscious; analogical reasoning, which can be unconscious, is a promising approach to model moral reasoning. This paper explores the use of analogical generalizations to improve moral reasoning. Analogical reasoning has already been used successfully to model...

We present a cognitive model of moral decision-making, MoralDM, which models psychological findings about utilitarian and deontological modes of reasoning. Current theories of moral decision-making extend beyond pure utilitarian models by relying strongly on contextual factors that vary with culture. In MoralDM, the impacts of secular versus sacred values are modeled via qualitative reasoning, ...
