          Does AI Have Free Will? New Study Says We’re Getting Close

          A new study argues that some generative AI agents meet all three philosophical criteria for free will: agency, choice, and control. Drawing from theories by Dennett and List, researchers examined AI agents like Minecraft’s Voyager and fictional autonomous drones, concluding that they exhibit functional free will.

          Bodily Awareness Guides Moral Decision-Making

          New research shows that people’s sensitivity to their internal bodily signals influences how closely they align with group moral preferences in dilemmas. Participants who were more aware of their heartbeat and internal states tended to make ethical choices that matched the group consensus.

          When AI Becomes a Lover: The Ethics of Human-AI Relationships

          As AI technologies grow more human-like, some people are forming deep, long-term emotional bonds with them, even engaging in non-legally binding marriages. A recent opinion paper explores the ethical risks of such relationships, including their potential to undermine human-human connections and provide dangerous or manipulative advice.

          Moral Values Shift with the Seasons

          A study has found that people's endorsement of moral values fluctuates seasonally, with group-focused values like loyalty, authority, and purity being more strongly supported in spring and fall. This fluctuation has significant implications for politics, legal decisions, and public health, as shifts in moral values can influence behaviors and judgments. The research also suggests a link between anxiety levels and these moral shifts, pointing to the potential impact of seasonal changes on societal outcomes.

          Overestimation of Opponents’ Immorality Fuels Political Divide

          A study reveals that Democrats and Republicans overestimate how much the opposing party approves of clearly immoral acts like theft or animal abuse. This "basic morality bias" is evident in social media posts and survey results, leading to increased political animosity.

          Organoids and Embryo Models: Redefining Human Individuality?

          Advances in organoids and embryonic models raise questions about human individuality. A new study argues these models can reinforce, not weaken, the concept of human individuality when viewed through personhood and sentience frameworks. Researchers emphasize that current technologies are far from achieving personhood in embryo models or organoids. The ethical focus should remain on the wellbeing of actual persons and sentient beings.

          A new study identifies significant overestimation among researchers regarding their adherence to good research practice compared to their peers. Surveying over 11,000 Swedish researchers, the study uncovers a widespread belief in one's own ethical superiority, not just individually but also across entire research fields.

          Rights or Rites? Reimagining Robots’ Moral Status through Confucian Lens

          As robots become more pervasive in our society, the question of whether they should be granted rights is a subject of increasing debate. A new analysis challenges this view. Instead of rights, researchers propose we view robots as 'rites bearers', drawing on principles from Confucianism that emphasize social harmony and role obligations.
