Artificial intelligence is changing the world: every human activity, from medicine to national security, is undergoing deep changes. Systems equipped with AI are not only helping humans but, in more and more situations, they are giving birth to completely autonomous systems, robots or bots. Faced with this flow of artificial intelligence, the ethical question is urgent. The more universal AI becomes, the more necessary it is to develop a new universal language that can manage innovation. In the text, we try to sketch some scenarios and to highlight some of the main challenges for ethics and moral theology by introducing the concept of algorethics: a new chapter in ethical reflection that wants to outline some ethical principles to be translated or implemented in software in a view to mitigate the unintended effects of algorithmic execution.
