the uber autonomous vehicle was driving
about 40 miles per hour when it struck a
pedestrian
[Music]
there's a trolley coming down the tracks
[Music]
you have to decide whether you're gonna
pull the switch and move it on to other
tracks
[Music]
this is a big challenge
[Music]
so like for one example you could say we
want always to give preference for
humans over animals and then you try to
apply this to every situation that you
come across the car can identify the
object as human the other as animals to
avoid the object that is human even if
that means paying the cost of
sacrificing the animal
[Music]
you could imagine on one side you have a
big truck and on the other side you have
a cyclist the car could choose to become
a little bit closer to the cyclist or it
could choose to be closer to the truck
now in each of these two decisions the
car is introducing more risk to one side
[Music]
by draining the cars on different
examples with some feedback about how
the car should resolve this car so hard
[Music]
while most people approve of
self-driving cars they are not winning -
by self-sacrificing cars
[Music]
self-driving cars will be minimizing
accidents you're actually minimizing
risk to your life
[Music]
so every day that this adoption is being
postponed that means that loss of more
lives the future of AI technology is not
just an engineering story it's also a
story about how we design our societies
we have to continually decide what kind
of world we want to live in
