Exploration of the neural bases behind universal and moral grammar from neuroethics in the age of AI systems

Humanity currently faces a historical and evolutionary crossroads arising from the disruptive processes associated with the incorporation of artificial intelligence systems (AIS) into various spheres of human activity. The impacts and changes foreseen for the planet will be monumental. An example is the development of what we still identify as science and of what we associate with truth. The central aim of this theoretical-reflective essay, elaborated from Foucauldian discursive elements, is to address and answer the following questions from the standpoint of neuroethics: What are the human and linguistic processes par excellence that can hardly be replaced by current technological advances and that make possible the development of what we know as scientific knowledge? How and where does linguistic and moral regulation take place so that a form of knowledge or knowing may be said to preserve the principle of nonmaleficence? The aim is also to understand not only the neural bases underlying the production and generation of language, but to explain them through moral grammar as a regulatory basis of moral and linguistic production. Among the main arguments is that the moral faculty helps to identify what is right and what is wrong. Finally, it is concluded that the activation of moral grammar is accompanied by processes of linguistic creativity that result in the production of knowledge mediated by ethical regulation. This raises questions about human practices that are presented or anticipated as scientific but still lack a moral-ethical-affective character in their production and dissemination, as is the case with artificial intelligence systems.
