Toward Virtuous Reinforcement Learning: A Critique and Roadmap

1. 1Identify limitations of rule-based and reward-based approaches in RL
2. 2Develop virtue-focused methods that cultivate lasting habits and adapt to ambiguity and nonstationarity
3. 3Integrate virtue ethics into RL frameworks to improve decision-making and accountability

AI researchers and engineers working on RL models can benefit from this critique to develop more robust and ethical models, while product managers and entrepreneurs can use this insight to inform their AI strategy

💡 Current RL methods often struggle with ambiguity and nonstationarity, and a virtue-focused approach can provide a more effective alternative
