Iyad Rahwan discusses the ethical trade-offs we’re willing to make.

A few years back driverless cars can only be found in movies. Everyone loved the idea of it (or at least interested in the possibility) and the conversation on how to make it happen turned into action.

Now that driverless cars are a reality, albeit in the infancy stages, a new conversation should take place. Specifically, how smart do we want these machines to be and whether or not they can be built to make moral decisions the way humans can? In this TED Talk, computational social scientist Iyad Rahwan discusses morality in this age of autonomous technology.
