We humans need to figure out the best way to prevent AI from making the worst decisions\, which are harmful\, unfair\, or otherwise morally wrong. One way is to design AI to predict what humans would judge to be immoral if they were informed\, rational\, and impartial. Then the AI can use that information when making its choices. This talk will illustrate this method in a test case of who gets the kidney when two patients need a transplant but only one kidney is available. This same approach can be extended to other areas of morality\, including end-of-life decisions in medicine\, hiring and promotion in business\, pretrial release in criminal law\, and autonomous vehicles and weapons. The result will be AI that aligns with our deepest values.

The court ruled in the woman’s favor\, accepting her claim that\, had the physician not acted negligently\, the mother would have had a healthy child. Yet this healthy child would have been a different child. So the physician’s omission was not worse\, or on balance bad\, for the plaintiff\, who has a life that is well worth living. If anything\, it benefited her. So on what basis can she claim a right to compensation\, or damages? I consider whether the court might have justified its decision by appealing to Parfit’s “No-Difference View\,” which asserts that it makes no moral difference whether a bad effect is worse for anyone. I will consider as well whether there is a requirement to cause a better-off individual to exist rather than a different\, less well-off individual\, or whether it might be permissible to cause the less well-off individual to exist. Also\, do an agent’s intentions matter to whether the agent is liable to pay damages in a case of wrongful life? Finally\, is a claim of wrongful life better grounded if the explanation of why the individual ought not to have been caused to exist concerns suffering in the individual’s life rather than a comparative lack of benefits?

In the light of possible future pandemics\, this paper is concerned with which moral duties are justifiable in principle to those concerned with liberty. It considers the distinction between duties not to harm or risk harm and those to aid\, the idea of morally innocent threats\, the role of self-defense against harm\, and the allocation of benefits and burdens among those who are and are not likely to harm others. \nTeams link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19%3ameeting_NDQ4M2UyMzYtMDljYS00ZGYzLWI2MzMtYzZiZTdkODk0YzFh%40thread.v2/0?context=%7b%22Tid%22%3a%22f85626cb-0da8-49d3-aa58-64ef678ef01a%22%2c%22Oid%22%3a%22a103bbeb-82cb-4813-ad29-375809eca528%22%2c%22IsBroadcastMeeting%22%3atrue%7d&btype=a&role=a URL:/philevents/event/knox-lecture-2022-frances-kamm-rutgers-university/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220523T093000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220523T110000 DTSTAMP:20211214T154148Z CREATED:20211214T154148Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211214T154148Z UID:10001503-1653298200-1653303600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Medieval Logic Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/medieval-logic-seminar-39/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Medieval Logic Research Group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220523T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220523T170000 DTSTAMP:20211214T154149Z CREATED:20211214T154149Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211214T154149Z UID:10001504-1653318000-1653325200@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Metaphysics Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/metaphysics-seminar-23/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Metaphysics and Logic group END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220524T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220524T140000 DTSTAMP:20211214T154149Z CREATED:20211214T154149Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211214T154149Z UID:10001505-1653393600-1653400800@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar S2 DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/language-and-mind-seminar-s2-9/ LOCATION:Edgecliffe G03 CATEGORIES:Language and Mind Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220524T150000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220524T170000 DTSTAMP:20211214T154150Z CREATED:20211214T154150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20211214T154150Z UID:10001506-1653404400-1653411600@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:Conceptual Engineering Seminar DESCRIPTION: URL:/philevents/event/conceptual-engineering-seminar-34/ CATEGORIES:Conceptual Engineering Seminar END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20220525T143000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20220525T160000 DTSTAMP:20220525T130906Z CREATED:20220321T203816Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220525T130906Z UID:10001523-1653489000-1653494400@www.st-andrews.ac.uk SUMMARY:CEPPA Talk (in person) – Matthew Adler (Duke University) DESCRIPTION:Location: Edgecliffe G03 and Teams \nTitle: “Person-Affecting Consequentialism: Equity-Regarding\, Desert-Neutral\, Repugnant” \nAbstract: \nThe philosophical literature on consequentialism regularly distinguishes between “person-affecting” and “impersonal” moral justifications or accounts.   The “person-affecting”/”impersonal” distinction can be interpreted in various ways.  I understand it as follows.  A person-affecting justificatory framework sees individuals’ well-being gains and losses—well-being effects on persons—as the fundamental moral considerations that underlie the moral goodness of outcomes. \nMy research has investigated the implications of the person-affecting framework\, using the concept of “claims-across-outcomes”—a concept that seeks to make the framework more rigorous and to draw clear implications from it. This talk will present and synthesize the results of this research program. \nIn a nutshell: the claims-across-outcomes framework argues for a moral-goodness ranking that satisfies an equity axiom (the Pigou-Dalton axiom)\, as opposed to utilitarianism; is neutral to individual differences in desert; and (extended to the variable-population context) implies the Repugnant Conclusion.  In short\, person-affecting consequentialism is equity-regarding\, desert-neutral\, and repugnant.  Surprisingly\, perhaps\, the simple idea that moral goodness is grounded on well-being gains and losses has these upshots.
