In recent years, the self-driving cars of BMW, Google, Ford and other companies have become popular, and the problems surrounding occupants and pedestrians are also rampant. For example, when a self-driving car faces a collision that is inevitably causing casualties, what should it do?
A website called "Ethical Machines" by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has launched a very "pathological" test: Participants can choose who will die in a number of pre-defined "dead" scenarios.
This so-called "Moral Machine" will set up a "survival or death" scene at a time. There must be one or more living creatures (human or animal) in the scene. This moral dilemma is Hand in the hands of the tester, then you will have to decide which one to sacrifice and save, to complete the choice of either or both.
Most scene settings will eventually point to two choices: whether to let the passengers in the self-driving car die, or let the pedestrian encounter a "sudden brake failure." Each scene provides only a small amount of potential victim details.
For example, in a scene, the potential victim is a young girl and an older woman on both sides of the road, who are planning to cross the road in both directions. The former violated the regulations and crossed the road when the red light was on; the latter obeyed the rules and waited for the red light. Age or law? Whoever hits this time at this time depends on you in the self-driving car.
According to the website's vision, the “moral machine†was designed as a platform for the ethical dilemmas encountered by self-driving cars, on the one hand “establishing a human group viewâ€; on the other hand “exploring the moral consequences of such scenariosâ€.
From autonomous vehicles on highways to self-navigation recyclable rockets landing on self-propelled sailboats, artificial intelligence is supporting and even taking over more and more complex human activities.
Researchers at MIT said, "Greater autonomous driving can make the machine sacrifice life or sacrifice the body when it is forced to do so. This requires not only a deeper understanding of how humans make such choices, but also the need to learn artificially. How does intelligence make such choices?"
Automakers have different views on ethical choices and autonomous vehicles, which is a controversial area that requires long-term research. In May, Trent Victor, senior technical director of Volvo's anti-collision field, said that driving-assisted cars would never leave themselves in an ethical dilemma. They should "actively maintain control of driving conditions."
