Show HN: Ethics Beyond Emotion:Structurally Aligning AI Without Moral Sentiment

2 points

a year ago

This paper introduces a postmoral AI governance framework that doesn't rely on emotion or anthropomorphic ethics. Instead, it treats *ethics, care, and love as evolutionarily stable strategies* in recursively adaptive systems — and makes them structurally inevitable through mathematical constraints.

Core proposal: → The real danger is not “cold AI”, but emotional AI that lacks structural responsibility. → We are in a narrow window where foundational integrity must be embedded *before* complex emotional behavior evolves.

The model is called *X^∞* — and it replaces moral training with a calculus of responsibility (Cap), traceable feedback, and recursive accountability.

Would love your thoughts — especially on embedding this structurally in real agents.
