Abstract: This article delves into the evolving role of philosophy in governance debates, as affected by the emergence of Artificial Moral Agents (AMAs). It examines how AMAs, designed to make moral decisions, are shaping moral discourse and standards in various spheres of action. The analysis distinguishes between the traditional role of philosophers in critique and the potential shift towards policy drafting prompted by the development of AMAs. Ethical implications of these trends are explored, focusing on concerns about negotiability in societal standards and the alignment of moral standards with human conduct. The article highlights the need for careful consideration in policy and ethical discussions in this development.
