Can AI be a moral victim? The role of moral patiency and ownership perceptions in ethical judgments of using AI-generated content
A research study examines how people ethically judge the reuse of AI-generated content, finding that copying AI work is perceived as significantly less unethical than plagiarizing human-authored work. The leniency stems from lower perceptions of AI's capacity to suffer harm and greater ownership attributed to humans reusing AI content, with anthropomorphic design cues indirectly influencing these moral judgments.
