arXiv:2606.12437v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The increasing encroachment of artificial intelligence (AI) on social life raises significant risks for society, particularly within the infospheres created and controlled by companies such as Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon. This article examines these risks through an in-depth analysis of Facebook's content moderation regime, which is already partially governed by algorithms. We argue that the idea of ethical engineering, often proposed in the literature as a solution to the governance challenges posed by AI, is inadequate for several rea
The increasing integration of AI into societal systems, particularly within information environments controlled by major tech companies, is prompting urgent discussions about governance frameworks and ethical considerations.
This paper highlights the inadequacy of current ethical engineering approaches for AI governance, advocating for a more robust 'Algorithmic Constitutionalism' to address significant societal risks.
The proposed shift from ethical engineering to 'Algorithmic Constitutionalism' suggests a more fundamental approach to regulating AI, treating it with a constitutional law perspective rather than mere ethical guidelines.
