Programming the Trolley Problem in Autonomous Vehicles
46:15 - 54:36 (08:21)
The development of autonomous vehicles sparks the need to program ethical decision-making processes such as the trolley problem, where cars have to decide and make quick decisions in the event of an accident. It is predicted that there will be a supervisory system that limits AI's learnings and capabilities, however, a single national security group or country is not going to self-limit to prevent AI from advancing too much.

Summary
The key to maintaining national security and competitive dominance lies in investing in data and algorithms while also considering the limitations of automatic war. However, without dialogue about self-limitations in this race for AI, an arms race similar to the nuclear arms race of the 50s and 60s could ensue.
