A Study on Spiritual Ethics Education in the Age of AI: Focusing on Moral Discrimination

The development of science and technology for human prosperity and its speed are now leading to an era controlled by AI agents beyond our control. AI technology, which improves our quality of life, has reached a level beyond human fair judgment since the Chat GPT-4 singularity. In making a fair judgment in this situation, we are asked to imagine the result of moral intuition or the most ideal moral judgment, or to discriminate, a higher-level concept of reason that goes beyond fact judgment and moral judgment. Our moral judgment proceeds in high-level cognitive situations and requires careful consideration even in situations considered by the emotions of individuals and others. This study aims to use discrimination that presents more desirable interests and possibilities for moral behavior in consideration of the relationship between intuition and wisdom about other people's intuition beyond individual intuition. As a research method, It is related to discrimination related to human excellence. By comparing and analyzing K. Wilber's spiritual consciousness, E. Levinas's altruistic self, and E. Durkheim's concept of solidarity with social groups as a theoretical background, we clearly analyze our spiritual discernment and conduct research to broaden our understanding of the realm of spirituality. As for the direction of spiritual ethics education, human thinking(reason) and feeling(emotion) suggested utilizing reason-centered moral imagination related to the discernment of the singularity of spirituality in the realm of God, predicting the outcome of reason-centered and emotion-centered moral behavior, and restoring emotion-centered moral sensitivity.
