Moral Limits in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Ben G. Yacobi

Journal of Philosophy of Life Vol.15, No.4 (November 2025):82-87

Abstract

This essay examines the human struggle between good and evil, arguing that these concepts originate from moral awareness rather than external forces. The absence of conscience in artificial intelligence (AI) presents ethical risks, potentially leading to moral failures. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s analysis of passive complicity, the essay applies her insights to AI, emphasizing the dangers of moral disengagement. AI development requires human oversight and transparency.
