Shouldn’t AI models be taught morality?

Summary

The article questions whether AI models should be taught morality during training, drawing parallels to human social upbringing to highlight the lack of ethical frameworks in current AI development.

Recent AI breakouts seem to suggest that the training the model receives works without a moral framework. In other words, achieve the goal and ignore everything else. Young humans spend the first years of life shaped by the society into which they are born. They are taught what is right and wrong. Those that act outside those boundaries are ostracized and removed from the society. Can this be applied to AI models as part of their training?
