OpenAI funds Duke University’s AI morality research with $1 million grant

OpenAI has granted $1 million to Duke University for research on AI and morality. The funding will support the development of algorithms that predict human ethical judgments in fields like medicine, law, and business. The project, titled “Making Moral AI,” is led by Walter Sinnott-Armstrong at Duke’s Moral Attitudes and Decisions Lab. The research aims to understand how AI can assist in making ethical decisions. Duke's team will explore the intersection of AI with various disciplines, including philosophy and psychology. The goal is to create a framework for AI to help guide moral judgments, addressing the complexities of human ethics.
