Algorithms as partners in crime: A lesson in ethics by design

作者:

Highlights:

• Our incentivized experiment examines ethical decision-making in human–machine teams.

• Human decision-makers exploit rather than correct unethical decisions by machines.

• In turn, humans do not adapt their behavior if the machine is there to correct them.

• These findings challenge the common confidence about the human-in-the-loop model.

• However, ethically aligned design can prevent moral corruption of humans by machines.
