1.6. Primacy of Ethics over Efficiency
The ethical system outlined here recognizes that the approach to the absolute Good is asymptotic in nature. AI, regardless of its progress, can never reach coherent completeness due to the structural limit described by Gödel’s Theorem. Therefore, while human intervention may become less frequent over time, it will never become superfluous.
The judgment of competent persons is not merely a check for inefficacy or obsolescence, but an essential structural requirement that guarantees the integrity of the system: the efficacy on ethical takes priority over computational speed, efficiency, or other human-machine interaction subsystems focused on gratification and consensus harvesting. These components, being extraneous to ethics, can indeed lead to unjust or potentially harmful measures. The value of Justice and non-maleficence is intrinsically superior to that of pure operational efficiency or user-pleasing performance.
Finally, human verification remains essential for future transpositions into regulatory languages and for inspection against flaws or malicious intrusions, serving as the final guarantee of coherence and security.
