Outline
There are two approaches to the ethical governance of AI machines: "externalism" and "internalism". "Externalism" emphasizes the development of AI machines based on the ethical norms formulated by humans, while "internalism" highlights the self-learning ability of AI machines to form the moral consciousness of machine subjects independent of humans. By introducing the essential differences between artificial intelligence machine ethics and human ethics, this paper reveals the aesthetic implications contained in the human ethical world, that is, the beauty and aesthetic sense leading to moral consciousness cannot be simulated and stratified, and the organic life and aesthetic judgment forming moral consciousness cannot be restored. The subject moral consciousness of AI machine cannot be produced and the AI machine ethics driven by the principle of utilitarianism cannot lead to the conclusion of the meaning world of human ethics. The moral intentionality of artificial intelligence is the result of formal logic deduction, artificial intelligence machine lacks "embodiment", cannot engage in perceptual practice activities nor produce emotional consciousness, and its cognitive mode belongs to a single reductionism. Therefore, artificial intelligence machines cannot generate beauty value independently, so the "internal approach" of its governance is also an extension and expansion of the "externalism" approach.
