Technology that can process information to make ethical decisions can be ethical. Is it ethical if it is just emulating is a bit of a philosophical question, but other than the pedantics of 'ethical' vs 'imitation ethical', AI is one of the first technologies we have that can attempt to do such. Attempt. Meaning neither inherent not guaranteed even with effort.
I think what the article is saying (as compared to the title) is that a universally agreed upon as ethical AI cannot exist. But this seems obvious given that a universally agreed upon set of ethics does not exist.
>Depending upon your priorities, your ethical views will inevitably be incompatible with those of some other people in a manner no amount of reasoning will resolve.
If we say there is no such thing as an ethical A.I. because we cannot all agree upon a standard, then it seems we should also say there is no such thing as an ethical human.
