Can AI ever become truly moral?

No—lacks consequence, embodiment, stakes. Best case: reliable tool under human watch.

Why can't philosophy fix AI's ethics problems?

Philosophy needs choosers who suffer outcomes. AI simulates talk, skips the walk.

Focus on liability chains, not machine morals. Hold humans accountable, always.

Picture an AI greenlighting a faulty drug trial. Lives shatter. The machine? Blissfully oblivious. That's the brutal truth philosophy can't fix.
