Seifeddine Haddad , student at the TUM School of Management, is part of the latest cohort of student assistants and volunteers supporting the successful implementation of the MoralPLai Project. Explore his reflections on key project topics and discover what inspired him to join the team.
What inspired you to join the MoralPLai project?
I was drawn to the MoralPLai project because it dives deep into the intersection of AI, ethics, and human values—something I find both fascinating and necessary. The idea of integrating moral reasoning into AI is not just a technical challenge, it is a fundamental question about how we want technology to reflect (or even shape) our society.
What are your thoughts on combining research with the arts?
I think it is one of the best ways to make research more engaging and accessible. The arts add an emotional and creative layer that pure analysis often lacks, making abstract ideas more tangible and relatable.
How comfortable would you feel taking guidance from AI on a personal issue?
I would take AI’s advice with a grain of salt. It could be useful for offering different perspectives or analyzing patterns, but at the end of the day, personal decisions need a human touch. AI does not have “lived” experiences, emotions, or intuition, and those things matter when dealing with personal issues.
Would you consider relying on AI for advice in a moral dilemma?
Not really. AI can break down scenarios and present logical options, but morality is not just about logic—it’s about context, emotions, and personal values. I think AI could be a tool in the decision-making process, but the final call has to come from human judgment.
What role do you think creativity plays in exploring complex ethical questions around AI?
Creativity is crucial. Ethical questions about AI do not have straightforward answers, so we need imagination to think through possible futures, consequences, and solutions. It helps us move beyond just “what’s possible” and ask “what’s right?”—which is the real challenge.
