Large Language Models as Moral Experts?

Wilbanks, D., Mondal, D., Tandon, N. & Gray, K. Large Language Models as Moral Experts? GPT-4o Outperforms Expert Ethicist in Providing Moral Guidance. Preprint at https://doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/w7236 (2024).

AI has demonstrated expertise across various fields, but its potential as a moral expert remains unclear… . Here, we advance work on the Moral Turing Test and find that advice from GPT-4o is rated as more moral, trustworthy, thoughtful, and correct than that of the popular The New York Times advice column, The Ethicist. GPT models outperformed both a representative sample of Americans and a renowned ethicist in providing moral explanations and advice, suggesting that LLMs have, in some respects, achieved a level of moral expertise… . More promisingly, it suggests that LLMs could complement human expertise in moral guidance and decision-making.
