Philosophy has gained renewed interest in the context of artificial intelligence (AI), with a growing number of philosophers working in tech companies. Notably, the percentage of philosophy-related roles in AI has increased from 1% in 2013 to 16% in 2022, according to PhilJobs. Philosophers are being consulted to help address ethical dilemmas in AI development. For example, OpenAI has consulted with hundreds of moral philosophers and tech-ethics experts when designing guidelines for ChatGPT. Companies like Anthropic are also employing philosophers to shape the ethical frameworks of their AI systems, such as Claude, which has a constitution outlining its intended behavior. The involvement of philosophers in AI raises questions about the future of ethical reasoning, with some academics suggesting that AI could potentially surpass human ethical reasoning capabilities. The collaboration between philosophy and AI is seen as a response to the societal changes brought about by AI technologies, although concerns about the quality of work and the pace of AI development persist.
