The Trolley Problem | Ask Artem Anything 002
Channel: Artem Alexandra
Date: 12/09/2021

🌕 Talking through the classic ethical dilemma: The Trolley Problem. Using BBC's interesting video on the problem and their added issue of pushing someone into the train, we talk about The Trolley Problem in any many ways as possible. Using Isaac Asimov's Three Rules of Robots, we also talk about what would happen if a robot were asked to solve the situation. 

Thank you so much Sam for your question!! 

Please feel free to ask me anything for a future video!! :)
