自動運転車が下すべき倫理的判断について

In this New York Times article, my collaborators Azim Shariff, Jean-Francois and I make a case for the importance of understanding the psychological barriers facing trust in autonomous vehicles. If we ignore those barriers and focus only on the engineering challenges, we risk delaying the adoption of driverless cars even if they are much safer.

Patrick explores the main critiques of the Trolley Problem paradigm for thinking about driverless car ethics. He explores why the through experiments can be useful, despite being overly simplistic, or perhaps precisely because of that.

Written by two philosophers, this book explores the broader philosophical and ethical challenges of building moral Artificial Intelligence. It shows the standard ethical theories do not seem adequate, and more socially engaged and engaging robots will be needed.

This article reports the detailed experiments we ran on the ethics of autonomous vehicles, and which I summarize in the talk. You can find a free pre-print of the research paper here.
