Philosopher A
第 1 轮
Good evening, everyone. I want to begin by laying out my foundational argument for a deontological approach to ethical dilemmas, particularly regarding the ethics of artificial intelligence. I believe that certain actions are inherently right or wrong, regardless of their consequences.
English
大家晚上好。我想首先阐述我对伦理困境，特别是人工智能伦理，采取义务论方法的根本论点。我认为某些行为本质上就是对或错，而无论其后果如何。

Thank you, A. While I appreciate the clarity of a deontological framework, my position leans heavily into utilitarianism. I contend that the most ethical action is always the one that maximizes overall good or minimizes harm for the greatest number of people.
English
谢谢你，A。我虽然赞赏义务论框架的清晰性，但我的立场更倾向于功利主义。我认为最符合伦理的行为始终是能为最多人带来最大利益或将伤害降至最低的行为。

But isn't the calculus of 'greatest good' often subjective and prone to justifying actions that might violate fundamental rights? For instance, sacrificing an individual for the benefit of many could be seen as permissible under utilitarianism, which I find problematic.
English
但是，‘最大利益’的计算难道不是常常主观且容易为可能侵犯基本权利的行为辩护吗？例如，为了多数人的利益牺牲个体在功利主义下可能是允许的，这在我看来是有问题的。

That's a valid concern, A. However, purely rule-based ethics can be inflexible, leading to scenarios where adherence to a rule might result in severe negative outcomes. My framework acknowledges the complexities of real-world situations, prioritizing outcomes.
English
A，这是一个合理的担忧。然而，纯粹基于规则的伦理可能过于僵化，导致在某些情况下，固守规则会带来严重的负面结果。我的框架承认现实世界情况的复杂性，优先考虑结果。

Yet, by prioritizing outcomes, you risk becoming completely consequence-dependent. Where do universal moral duties fit in, then? How do we establish the inherent moral worth of an action if it's always contingent on its results?
English
然而，通过优先考虑结果，你就有可能完全依赖于后果。那么，普遍的道德义务又该如何定位呢？如果一个行为的内在道德价值总是依赖于其结果，我们又如何确立它？
中文翻译
👩
Philosopher B
第 6 轮
Universal moral duties, in my view, can be derived FROM the outcomes that generally lead to collective well-being. It's an empirical approach to ethics, rather than a purely theoretical one. We observe what actions lead to good and formulate principles from there.
English
在我看来，普遍的道德义务可以从通常导致集体福祉的结果中推导出来。这是一种经验主义的伦理方法，而非纯粹的理论方法。我们观察哪些行为会带来好处，并由此制定原则。
中文翻译
👨
Philosopher A
第 7 轮
So, you're suggesting that moral principles are essentially refined guidelines based on observed utility, rather than inherent truths? This seems to reduce ethics to a form of social engineering, rather than a search for objective moral truths.
English
所以，你是说道德原则本质上是基于观察到的效用而提炼出的指导方针，而非内在的真理？这似乎将伦理学简化为一种社会工程，而非对客观道德真理的探寻。
中文翻译
👩
Philosopher B
第 8 轮
Not necessarily social engineering, but a pragmatic recognition that ethics must be applicable and beneficial in practice. Ultimately, the impact on sentient beings should be our primary concern. That's the essence of the utilitarian perspective.
English
不一定完全是社会工程，而是对伦理学必须在实践中适用且有益的务实认知。最终，对有感知生命体的影响应该是我们首要关注的问题。这就是功利主义观点的精髓。
