    It’s a trolley problem of sorts. Currently it seems that we have higher standards for AI than humans. I bet that even if AI was twice as good driver, we’d still hate to hear about it causing accidents. I’m not sure why that is. I’m wondering if it has something to do with the fact, that there’s really not anyone to blame and that doesn’t fit with our morals.

      Because corporations running AI means the first time actual human thought enters the picture is when the dividend check gets deposited.

      And shareholder profits, sacred in law and the market, will push safety standards based on cost, not fewest deaths.
