Journal Title: International Review of Humanities Studies - Year 2019, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

This article discusses the importance of ethical guidance and regulation on the change of world research climate supported by information and communication technology (ICT). The research has resulted in artificial intelligence and „super‟ human entities which are predicted to potentially cause damage and destruction of humans. In this context, human is placed as an information organism parallel to other information entity. Human is no longer a single entity as a center of reflection on a moral action. This research aimed to reflect on the ontology of Floridian information based on ontocentrism as the axiological footing of its information ethical theory. The method used was hermeneutics. The research findings showed that the reduction of human position creates human nervousness as a knowing subject. Therefore, ethical regulation is required on artificial agent construction effort as moral agent within the constellation of ethical actions in the information ecosystem.
