Philosophy Paper Argues Large Language Models Lack Agency for Moral Responsibility
A recent academic paper from arXiv argues that attributing agency or moral responsibility to large language models (LLMs) is misguided. The paper maintains that LLMs produce coherent outputs but are fully characterized by probabilistic input-output mappings, lacking intrinsic intentionality and self-attributed action. This challenges claims that LLMs can be moral agents, with direct relevance to how enterprises govern AI in decision-making.
