Dual Process Th eories (2013, background): “To study the processes underlying responses to moral dilemmas (see Greene, 2008, 2014), Gawronski, Armstrong, Conway, Friesdorf, and Hütter (2017) developed a multi-process model that quantifies the contribution of three distinct factors: (1) sensitivity to consequences, (2) sensitivity to moral…”

We suggest that a way out of this conundrum is to adopt a data-driven approach, inspired by experimental ethics [Greene, 2014a], to identify moral algorithms that people are willing to accept as citizens and to be”
