“Some people cast doubt on the Orthogonality Thesis on the grounds that true intelligence will include moral reasoning.”

The other issue with this that one can be a moral realist, and still believe that moral truths are inaccessible via the sort of reasoning an AI could access. I’m a non-naturalist moral realist, and even if I’m right, it’s not at all clear to me that AI would agree. Similarly, a naturalist could believe that moral facts are *so* difficult to prove that even superintelligent AI might get them wrong (similar to how a superintelligent AI might still not be able to solve the problem of consciousness, etc.).
