Moral reference in Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the principles, values, and ethical standards used to guide the development and behaviour of AI systems. It helps determine what an AI system should or should not do, especially when its decisions affect people. This article examines the concept of moral reference in artificial intelligence and argues that moral reference in AI cannot be reduced to a single universal rule or algorithm. Moreover, responsible AI requires a pluralistic framework that integrates human rights, consequentialist considerations, deontological constraints, principles of fairness, contextual judgment, democratic accountability and God laws. Particular attention is given to the distinction between moral reference and moral agency: an AI system may operate according to moral references without necessarily possessing moral understanding or moral responsibility in the human sense. The article further discusses challenges arising from cultural pluralism, biased data, conflicting values, conflicting interests, opacity, ambiguity, autonomous decision-making, and responsibility gaps. The article concludes that moral reference should be treated as a central design and governance problem rather than as an optional feature of AI development.
