Abstract

When human labor is completely replaced by technology, what will become of human moral mechanism? The rapid changes in morality caused by the rapid development of science and technology undoubtedly make moral prediction more valuable. In this review, the theory of morality as cooperation, one of the latest moral theories, is used to speculate on the impact of this situation on human ethics. Through some discussion, this paper gets some hold prediction. Firstly, the principle of fairness predicts that an ostensibly altruistic society will emerge. Then some principles about distribution predict that labor value will be replaced by a value which, like labor, does not feel seriously unequal because of unmanageable gaps, and which is primarily for spiritual purposes. There is a pity that social institution can be predicted hardly, which silences a principle. This discussion may help people to make a necessary discussion in advance of a serious ethical conflict in the future, so as to make a trade-off and reduce the loss.
