Texto 5 Artificial Companionship: Moral Deskilling in the Era of Social AI Laurence Cardwell University of Cambridge This paper investigates “social AI” and its ethical implications, particularly the risk of “moral deskilling” described by Shannon Vallor, where reliance on AI could deteriorate moral skills. Despite social AI's potential to counter loneliness, it predominantly appears to threaten moral competencies as it prioritises user demands and market forces, and lacks the complexity of human interactions necessary for moral development. The paper suggests that extensive interaction with AI may weaken empathy and reduce genuine human engagement, potentially leading to a decline in moral and social abilities. It concludes that the prevailing application of social AI may contribute more to moral deskilling than upskilling, emphasising the need for diligent research and ethical design in the proliferation of AI technologies.
