“AI has the morality of a hammer,” an opinion piece by UMA Lecturer of Data Science and Machine Learning Rocko Graziano, was recently published in the Kennebec Journal. It explores the question is AI is capable of morality, or is it simply a reflection of the people who create and use it? Graziano challenges the idea that artificial intelligence can—or should—hold ethical responsibility, arguing that the real issue lies in human hands. As AI continues to shape everything from hiring practices to newsfeeds, its biases mirror our own. Read the full piece to explore why the future of AI isn’t about making machines moral—it’s about making better choices ourselves.
