Quoted from jackd104:One day (and not long from now) driverless cars will make split second decisions on who to kill in an imminent unavoidable accident. Using facial recognition, the lighting fast 5G wireless network, and machine learning, the car will identify all possible victims and select the one for death that is least valuable to society and then take the appropriate action, all within a fraction of a second. Enjoy the future everyone.
The morals of AI are fascinating, and very few countries have written Asimov-like laws yet. I like this MIT project:
"Welcome to the Moral Machine! A platform for gathering a human perspective on moral decisions made by machine intelligence, such as self-driving cars."
They are researching human views on who the car should choose to kill in different accident situations. Fascinating cultural differences such as countries that value older people's lives more Try it out!
