A groundbreaking study published on January 27, 2025, reveals the intriguing responses of five AI systems—DeepSeek-R1, GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 1.5, and Grok-2—to the PhilPapers 2020 survey's critical philosophical questions. This research underscores the profound implications of allowing AI to interpret, and potentially influence, the foundational principles of human thought and society. As these technologies advance, it is imperative to ensure they are grounded in traditional human values and do not stray from the moral and ethical guidelines that have long governed civilized society. The results of this experiment serve as a reminder of the need for robust regulatory frameworks that safeguard our philosophical heritage against unfettered technological advancement.
