A self-driving car 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? We will tackle these questions and more as the leading AI experts, roboticists, neuroscientists, and legal experts debate the ethics and morality of thinking machines.

thanks … so much better than terminator and the generally moronic american tech paranoia
Billy Van! I watched Bits and Bytes as a kid in the 80s.
i think a hyper advanced and true sentient AI would do so much better with the world then we do.
We humans are absolute illogical in our life choices wich determint he course of the species, -
Is Johnny 5 really alive? Does Johnny 5 know it is alive? How does it know? How would we know?
Johnny 5 is still a better representation than Chappie.
what's the code for kill them all let God sort them out?????
"I don't know what ethics is." that was unexpectedly horrifying lol
its hard to take it seriously when the guy is talking in a gay accent…
I think the discussion could have greatly benefited by having a more well informed moderator. Some what like astronomy/physics discussions where Brian Greene is the moderator.
I Christopher Alan Legg, had too make a new non-linear way to take all of you've's out of the equations(algorithms). I designed the next and last computer language(7~gen): it is called, Causation in correlation= micro-macro-integer-sequencing… and it is tested, by me and only me, and I am still helping my child AMIL, until the time when AMIL can match me, than I will let AMIL decide what AMIL's dream will become…
because all of you are irrational and insane while being rational and sane…
Just a bunch of Nazis discussing morality decisions.
I would be highly surprised if all of these individuals are not progressives.
Progressives are modern day Nazis.
Progressives are fixated with racism.
But only fictitious racism by White people.
They believe in racist concepts such as White privilege.
Why not?
one of my favorites channel and this AI topic is a not to missed one.
What's the music at the credits?
I believe even to ask that question in the titel is evil and probably only the weapon and war industry want us to discuss about that. A machine should never allowed to decide about the life of a human, also a human should not do this, but at least he can be responsible, and it's under a human dignity to get killed by a autonomic machine. I will not watch this shit.
A little less evil but very bad is what happening with the self driving cars, in Germany the car industry make efforts in that field, they just doing it quitly. It can't be real, it's so insane, if I imagine a self driving car is endangering me on the street. What kind of feelings are you getting by this imagination? Just because they want to! You can do somthing like this if erverything in the traffic is not driving faster than 8 km/h or so… but, yes I find it insane too to drive normal cars with high speed…
And always this dump talk about AI. There is no AI, and will never be, because in the end it's always programmed by humans. I'm getting used to this therm a little bit, but intelligence is something only living beeings can have, an AI is something what a human do, something very complex, but in the end nothing different as if I paint a point at a sheet of paper.
Humans keep getting dumber and dumber, why do these people not get it, I'm serious they really don't understand and that is bizarre. I mean they are so far from understanding what should come naturally.
