Survey maps global variations in ethics for programming autonomous vehicles
- zamalek 8y agoThis discussion is honestly becoming a bit tiring. A non-deterministic system would still be more eyhical than humans (which will always choose "preserve self"). Furthermore, and it sucks to admit it, we are easily more than a decade away from self-driving cars and far, far, more years away from AI that can make whatever ethical choices we decide it should make because that requires foresight, which amounts to GAI, and we can't even emulate common sense yet. When we have sufficiently advanced AI, will road infrastructure resemble our current infrastructure in any way? Even if it didn't change at all, pedestrians would learn how to predict what a car will do in common situations; e.g. how I currently put one foot on the road to signal drivers to slow down. There may be no trolley to worry about. It just seems like a lot of talk about a reality that we couldn't possibly comprehend. The vast majority of current opinions, which sound very smart, will probably end up being irrelevant - save the one that somehow won the opinion lottery. It's a big and wasteful distraction from issues that occur within this century. How about we see if we can actually pull off self-driving cars and GAI, first.
