Tools cannot have ethics since tools do not define ethics, society does and ethics aren’t universal or static.
We are barely capable of defining and arguing ethics as a society claiming that a microwave would be able to make ethical decisions is laughable.

A bomb is no more ethically problematic than a bottle coke.

As I already wrote, an advanced AI is a tool that can precisely define ethics for itself or adopt ones. Plus, as I also already wrote, even if a tool has no ethics, it can be ethically problematic (to society), so that is something we should discuss too. >We are barely capable of defining and arguing ethics as a society claiming that a microwave would be able to make ethical decisions is laughable. Which is again irrelevant, as an AI is not a microwave -- and future AI even less so. We are capable of seeing/discussing even things that are not immediately in front of us...
