Part 4/11:
Challenging the notion that morality is irreducible or culturally relative, Churchland’s perspective frames ethics through an evolutionary and neurobiological lens. By understanding the neuroevolutionary origins of morality, we can better explore how to imbue AI with ethical heuristics. Her approach clarifies that morality, despite cultural variations, stems from shared evolutionary purposes—an essential insight for programming ethical behaviors into machines.
