Can AI makes us virtuous?

What is it about?

If we human beings are successful at enhancing our intelligence through technology, will this count as spiritual advance? No. Intelligence alone—whether what we are born with or what is superseded by Artificial Intelligence or Intelligence Amplification—has no built-in moral compass. In Christian spirituality we value love more highly than intelligence, because love orients us toward God and the welfare of the neighbor.

Perspectives

Neither AI nor IA by itself can make us more virtuous. We need inspiration, discipline, and habits developed over time to become virtuous.
