This article explores the complex question of whether AI-based tools like ChatGPT can be considered moral agents. We look at how AI systems have been used for tasks like writing haikus, creating essays, generating computer code, and even creating potential bio-weapon names, and examine the ethical implications of deploying these powerful tools. We look at issues of bias, deep fakes, and data privacy and their relevance to morality. Ultimately, though AI can work within ethical boundaries, it still requires full-fledged human morality and judgement.
