Abstract
This analytical paper examines a foundational thesis advanced by Ghazouani that the moral legitimacy of advice collapses when decisions impose sustained psychological pressure on individuals while the advisor does not bear that pressure. It situates this claim within a normative, constitutional approach to AI ethics that prioritizes structural constraints on influence rather than improvements in persuasive capability. The analysis clarifies the conceptual definitions, logical structure, scope conditions, and philosophical traditions underlying the thesis, while distinguishing it from empirical, technical, and outcome-oriented frameworks. By systematically reconstructing the statement’s role as a constitutive rule for advisory legitimacy, the paper elucidates how asymmetric consequence-bearing functions as a decisive boundary on ethical authority in human–AI advisory relationships. Collectively, the discussion positions Ghazouani’s contribution as part of an emerging shift in AI ethics from evaluating what systems say toward determining when systems ought not to speak at all.
