Re: Self driving cars..
Ariella, Yep, and because another advantage of self driving cars will be their ability to constantly network (so that your car knows that the car 200 yards out front around the curve just hit a deer), they'll have to solve philosophic questions with much more information than we have to cope with--knowing that the car behind has a baby in it and the one to the side contains an uninsured driver trying to make it to the first day on a job after a year of unemployment. You'll be lucky if it doesn't know the squirrel's life story too!

Re: Self driving cars..
@JohnBarnes I'm glad I'm not the one who has to make the call on when a program has to decide who is to be sacrificed so others may live. It is a serious question with no easy answers. Elsewhere I suggested that Spock's statement of Vulcan belief (basically Utilitarianism) could provide a guide because in that case you're just going for the many versus the few or the one without factoring in other value questions (like the ages of the people involved).

Re: Self driving cars..
Ariella, I think a better system might be to create rules that produce, on the average, results that least outrage the person's relevant community. And I can even sort of see a vision of how that could be done over time. Which is giving me an idea for a story I think.

Re: Self driving cars..
@JohnBarnes, I love your further analysis.  Exactly - it is at an entirely different level.

The capabilities of machine learning - AI - establish a structure that actually builds more on facts that can be learned and then directed by human decisions.  I believe it opens the doors to both more "efficient' decision making as well as better results from the decisions we make.

You should lead an AI Institute - your vision is excellent!
