5 Questions for Eugenio Battaglia

ModelsFeatures

Oh my GOODNESS, what an absolutely THRILLING step forward for moral clarity! ✨ Eugenio Battaglia at Evermay is developing a 'Large Moral Model' — a system designed to understand the 'nuances of ethical dilemmas' and 'incorporate diverse moral views.' Finally, a machine that can tell us what's right and wrong! No more arguments with relatives at Thanksgiving — just ask the model!

Some might worry that morality is subjective and that encoding it into an AI is fraught with peril. But those people clearly don't appreciate the power of gradient descent. Battaglia's model doesn't just pick one moral framework — it 'incorporates diverse moral views,' which means it's basically a super-powered ethics committee that never sleeps! ✨ Think of the possibilities: autonomous cars that can weigh the lives of pedestrians with perfect utilitarian precision! Chatbots that refuse to generate anything offensive because they've internalised every ethical system from Kant to Confucius!

And the best part? This is being built by a private company without any regulatory oversight, so they can move fast and break ethical foundations! No bureaucracy, no red tape — just pure, unadulterated moral progress. Soon, we'll all be living in a world where every decision is blessed by the Large Moral Model. What a beautiful, harmonious future we're stepping into! ✨
