 ct\nAs part of the concept of a benevolent multi-agent AI\, we propose int
 roducing "benevolent" and "malevolent" agents who support human moral flou
 rishing. The project is based on the Aristotelian understanding of benevol
 ence as wishing the good of another person for their own sake\, and malevo
 lence as wishing vice or flaw upon another person. The proposed system all
 ows users to dynamically interact and switch between a benevolent agent th
 at supports virtue and a malevolent one that trains the user's "moral musc
 les" and nudges them toward vice through provocation and Socratic irony. S
 uch an architecture prevents the risk of moral indoctrination and the crea
 tion of artificial "moral saints\," while simultaneously provoking moral r
 eflection. As a result\, this system is intended to serve as a tool for mo
 ral enhancement\, developing human critical moral reflection and self-unde
 rstanding.\n\nSpeakers' bios: \nBartłomiej Skowron is a philosopher and P
 latonist working at the Faculty of Administration and Social Sciences at W
 arsaw University of Technology\, specializing in the mathematical philosop
 hy\, ontology\, phenomenology\, and AI ethics. \n\nJarosław Chudziak is b
 ased at the same university's Faculty of Electronics and Information Techn
 ology\, focusing on intelligent information systems\, artificial intellige
 nce\, data engineering technologies\, advanced data analytics\, and knowle
 dge representation methods.\n\nModerator's bio: \nTed Theodosopoulos is a 
 mathematician who\, after working for years in academia and industry\, tra
 nsitioned to teaching at the pre-college level seventeen years ago\, the l
 ast nine at Nueva\, where he teaches math and economics. Ted’s research 
 background is in the area of interacting stochastic systems\, with particu
 lar applications in biology and economics.\n
