Do nothing and they all die. Pull a level and the streetcar switches tracks \u2014 killing somebody else. Do you pull the lever? What if the other person is elderly? A schoolchild?<\/p>\n<p>The dilemma and its variants are often cited as the type of problems artificial intelligence will have to grapple with as it becomes ever more prevalent in our lives. Driverless cars, for example, will have split seconds to make exactly those types of decisions.<\/p>\n<p>In this special report on the future of artificial intelligence, we explore the technology\u2019s implications. Are people ready to trust their lives to driverless cars? What about an AI doctor? Who\u2019s to blame when price-setting algorithms work together to collude?<\/p>\n<p>We also spoke to Armin Grunwald, an adviser to the German parliament tasked with mapping out the ethical implications of artificial intelligence. Grunwald, it turns out, has an answer to the trolley problem.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article is part of the special report <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/special-report\/confronting-the-future-of-ai\/\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Confronting the Future of AI<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/artificial-intelligence-ethics-dilemma-ai-special-report-introduction\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Original Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p> [contf] [contfnew]         <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com\/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRMd3Tz2gX9xSa6CJyaOj2dokBVcrdaT4yY3R3RI7YmL18vCLZZ\"\/> <\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"http:\/\/www.politico.com\/&gt;Politico&lt;\/a&gt;&lt;\/h5&gt;_&lt;\/p&gt;[contfnewc]_[contfnewc]_&lt;\/body&gt;&lt;\/html&gt;\" rel=\"noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Long before a car came anywhere close to driving itself, eth..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":67765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-67764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
