Abstract

The quest for moral and ethical enrichment, rooted in ancient philosophical traditions, has gained renewed urgency with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). As AI redefines our understanding of decision-making and moral reasoning, the concept of moral enhancement through AI technologies has emerged as a critical topic in AI ethics. This paper explores the role of transparency as a foundational principle in AI-powered moral enhancement. It argues that transparent AI systems can augment human ethical capacities while addressing key concerns such as bias, accountability, and trust. Through a hypothetical Socratic dialogue, the paper contrasts two opposing perspectives on AI transparency: one advocating for radical openness to foster ethical development, and the other cautioning against transparency's potential risks to security and innovation. By bridging classical philosophical inquiry with modern AI technology, this paper contributes to the broader discourse on AI ethics, offering insights into how transparent AI systems can lead to superior ethical outcomes and safeguard against misuse. The discussion highlights transparency as a moral imperative at the heart of AI governance to ensure AI's alignment with societal values and the pursuit of truth.
