이번 주에는
미래 한국의 먹거리 산업인 자율주행차와 AI 윤리에 관한 내용으로
영어훈련하겠습니다.
자율주행차 산업이 미래 먹거리인 것은 분명하지만,
사고가 발생했을 시 그 책임을 누가 질 것인가 등에 관한 윤리문제는
앞으로 커다란 장애가 될 것 같습니다.
결국, 그 장애를 어떻게 해결할 것인지가
자율주행 산업의 속도를 좌우할 것입니다.
이번 주 칼럼은 그렇게 어렵지는 않지만
참 깔끔한 느낌을 들게 하는 영작입니다.
저와 그 깔끔한 영작을 감상하시죠.
Self-driving cars and AI ethics
Last month, California regulators allowed two companies that operate self-driving cars to accept paying customers in San Francisco. The first week did not go well. One car drove itself onto freshly poured concrete in a road construction zone with traffic cones and workers with flags. The car got stuck in the wet concrete, and the company will be paying to repave the road.
In a more serious incident, a passenger in a driverless car was injured in a collision with a fire truck. As a result, the operator agreed to halve the number of driverless vehicles it operated in San Francisco.
The decision to permit self-driving cars may usher in a new era of transportation, or it may prove to be a false dawn. Either way, the issues surrounding self-driving cars illustrate many of the ethical questions raised by the impact of artificial intelligence on everyday life.
A world in which most vehicles were fully autonomous would have many advantages. Most private cars spend a great deal of time idle. If everyone could call up an autonomous vehicle whenever required, there would be no need to own one’s own car, thus saving resources. Moreover, by keeping traffic flowing more smoothly, the widespread use of driverless cars may also save fuel and time.
