#Moral #Math of #Robots: Can #Life and #Death #Decisions be #Coded?
A #selfdrivingcar has a split second to #decide whether to turn into oncoming traffic or hit a child who has lost control of her bicycle. An #autonomous #drone needs to decide whether to risk the lives of busload of civilians or lose a long-sought #terrorist. How does a #machine make an #ethical decision? Can it “learn” to #choose in situations that would strain #human decision making? Can #morality be #programmed?
Tickets available now, link in bio.
