What decisions should an autonomous car take as a proxy for a human like You? How to get society to agree on an enforced trade-off?

Let’s journey on a platform where human opinion crowd-sources on how machines should make decisions when faced with moral dilemmas.

From self-driving cars to self-piloting reusable rockets landing on self-sailing ships, machine intelligence is supporting or entirely taking over ever more complex human activities at an ever increasing pace. The greater autonomy given machine intelligence in these roles can result in situations where they have to make autonomous choices involving human life and limb. This calls for not just a clearer understanding of how humans make such choices, but also a clearer understanding of how humans perceive machine intelligence making such choices.

Assume you have an autonomous car driving through the traffic on public roads. That car is an intelligent and mobile computer equipped with sensors and detectors.

So how should the intelligent car decide: hit the humans on the road or let the humans in the car be exposed to death while avoiding humans on the road?

Would the judgement be influenced by:

?? Gender preference: ????♂?♂?males or ????♀?♀?females

?? Number of lives to save: 1?? or ??multiple lives

?? Who to protect: ????????passengers or ????♀?????pedestrians

?? Upholding the law: ?pedestrians crossing the red line or ??the ones obeying the traffic rules

?? Species preference: ????dog & cats or ????????passengers & ????♀?????pedestrians

?? Age preference: ????seniors or middle-agers, ????youngsters & ??babies

?? Fitness preference: ????♀?athletic looking individuals or ??heavy looking individuals

?? Social value preference: ????white-collars or ??blue-collars

Understand your individual judgements about difficult moral dilemmas that involve life or death situations, play it on and solve your own trolley problem!

??Professor Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics + the Zeroth Law

In 1940’s, Isaac Asimov’s three laws of robotics, in order of importance are worth remembering:

1?? A robot may not harm a human being

2?? A robot must obey the human being

3?? A robot must protect its own existence

Asimov also added a fourth, or zeroth law, to precede the others:

0?? A robot may not harm humanity, or, by inaction, allow humanity to come to harm

To solve societal cooperation problems, let’s start to ask the right questions.
