Utilitarianism is very dangerous. Our current societal system isn't really based on utilitarianism as I see it, and I don't think we want to live in a world where a pure version of that school of thought is allowed to have any power.
Actively choosing an action to deliberately kill someone else could be weighed negatively by the machine, it would depend on the programmer.
I don't think you can apply the word "rational" here, if you don't take a position of utilitarianism, not deliberately killing the person could be axiomatically rational. It's not just about guilt.
