description Developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence have called into question whether it is defensible to allow AI to make and execute some of our moral decisions.

I argue that while we may encounter serious difficulties, further work can help us formulate a competent ethical framework of AI such that we can benefit from AI’s capacity for good.
