Hegemonikon and AI
The Stoic concept of the hegemonikon—the capacity for assent that directs the mind—is used as a framework for understanding intellectual creation and decision-making, clarifying when AI supports human judgment and when it replaces decision-making authority.

Simulated Morality, Misplaced Trust: The Risks of Treating AI as a Moral Partner
The article argues that many contemporary AI alignment practices risk a mistaken assimilation of moral agency to statistical learning. 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...

As-If Agents: Misrecognition and the Ethics of Non-Agentive AI
An ethics of non-agentive AI is sketched: the authors should see these systems as powerful, instrument-like extensions of human cognition, not as knowers in their own right, and design institutions, interfaces and norms of trust accordingly.

How do LLMs Evaluate Perceived Moral Agency? Investigating Moral Decision-Making in Human-Artificial Agents Interactions
As LLMs take on roles requiring moral advice, understanding how they attribute moral agency becomes critical. Humans possess moral agency, the capacity to make ethically guided decisions and bear responsibility for their consequences, a well-established construct in moral psychology. Yet as artificial agents (AAs) such...

Why We Need Epistemically, Not Morally, Trustworthy AI: Decision Support and the Need for Collective Accountability
It is argued that once moral trustworthiness is set aside, the central normative question shifts from whether AI systems can be trusted to how their epistemic influence on human decision-making ought to be justified and governed.

Human realignment
It is found that at least for the time being, explicit normative instructions are not fully able to realign AI advice with the normative convictions of the population, or the legislator deciding on its behalf.

Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses
Training AI agents with reinforcement learning can be challenging because their tools, context, and decision-making are managed by complex frameworks. Agent Lightning connects existing agents to RL training, making it easier to improve them without rebuilding them. The post Agent Lightning v1.0: A 3,500-Line Lightweight Agentic RL Framework for Training Agents with Real Harnesses appeared first on Microsoft Research.
