Typical drivel

Technology doesn't comprehend morality

That's a meaningless statement, if it's not supported by a persuasive theory of mind that posits the mind as something other than a mechanical effect. Otherwise, morality is by definition an output of a machine, and there is no barrier to reproducing it with technology.

Based on the article (I can't be bothered to look for a transcript of the source), Grobman and Fralick were just repeating commonplace, sophomoric observations about the fungibility of technology in general, couched in terms of flavor-of-the-day AI. Anyone with any knowledge of the domain and a reasonable capacity for critical thinking has made the same observations long ago. There's no news here.
