A new study found that AI technology led humans to cheat more.

This (flawed imo) study used dice throwing in which the dice could be programmed with AI to give either more accurate results or more profitable results. The study found a larger number of people chose more profitable than when no AI was used.

People preferred dice that would be more profitable to them. Who would have thunk it?

Don't need AI to get the same conclusions.

Either you have ethics, or you don't. If your ethics have a price, you didn't have any to begin with.
I had a friend who made his money sneaking unwanted warranties into distracted buyers, so it shouldn't have surprised me when we discovered he had rigged his homemade computer Risk game, where we played for a nickel a point.

Except there are levels of ethics in a prison. But I suppose one could also argue those are levels of “no ethics”, not ethics.

Ethical people generally avoid being sentenced to prison.
