[QUOTE="soberups, post: 1620082, member: 14668"] Hypothetical scenario: You are traveling down a tree-lined rural road at or under the 45 MPH speed limit when a dog darts out into the road directly in front of you. You realize that you cannot stop in time to avoid the dog without leaving the road and hitting a tree or swerving into the oncoming lane and hitting another car head on, so you make the correct decision to slow down as much as possible and run over the dog. Now replace that dog with a [B]child[/B]. Are you [I]still[/I] making the correct decision by running it over, or does the value of that child's life demand that you avoid it by any means necessary, including swerving off the road and into a tree? The answer to that question is obvious, of course....but how will a computer be able to distinguish between a dog and a child? And how will a computer be able to make split-second value judgements when deciding which course of action will be the lesser of two evils? [/QUOTE]
