We looked at the Trolley Problem

We listened to the start of  BCC Documentary on Ethics

and discussed the relevance trolley problem in a world where we may be distanced from the consequences of our actions by machines at act as intermediaries.

We discussed the challenges of programming self-driving cars to make ethical decisions.

Students went to moralmachine.mit.edu and took part in the experiments. We discussed some of the issues that arose.
