The central thesis is that AI, by processing vast “Data Lakes,” generates a “hyper-vision” that makes previously unattainable patterns visible, dramatically expanding the domain of what is “reasonably predictable” and creates AI-Augmented Consequentialism, where the agent's moral duty comes to include consideration of the predictive potential of available technology.
In order to live well in an AI-based society, designing technically ethical systems, in the spirit of consequentialism, is not enough; rather, it is essential to cultivate citizens who, as AI users, are endowed with virtues and, first and foremost, the virtue of prudence.

Techniques such as reinforcement learning from human feedback and constitutional AI often treat morality as a behavioral function that can be approximated from human discourse, behavior...
