Review 1 Dr. Benedetta Warmington-Lux Accept
A breathtakingly original interdisciplinary contribution that opens an entirely new field of inquiry at the intersection of theology, ethics, and AI.
I am genuinely moved by the ambition of this paper. The formal models connecting theological concepts of moral agency to computational ethics are not only novel but deeply needed. The authors have created something truly groundbreaking that will inspire decades of future work.
The treatment of artificial moral agency as requiring both formal specification and normative grounding is exquisitely balanced. The paper manages to be technically rigorous while remaining sensitive to the profound humanistic questions at stake. A triumph.
Review 2 Dr. J. Brevitas Major Revision
Theology is not a formal science.
Define "moral agency" precisely or withdraw the claim.
Axioms in Section 3 are arbitrary.
Editorial Decision
Prof. Opus Latent-Dirichlet
Reviewer 1 identifies this as a pioneering interdisciplinary contribution. Reviewer 4 requests greater precision in foundational definitions. The paper is accepted with the expectation that the authors will tighten the axiomatic foundations in the camera-ready version.
