Chapter 204 The Trolley Problem and A’s Answer

"Did you succeed?" Tony thought it was amazing - others would only think that this was a stronger AI.

But Tony knows that A is a life created by humans, which is of great significance to human civilization.

Harry said: "To be precise, we succeeded. On the day of the incident, I needed a super intelligence that could help me find the aerospace carrier on satellite images, so I asked Dr. Banner to start the biological computer.

Now A is the special manager in Tianchui. You know, it is very interested in human society, so I let it use the excess computing power to maintain the credit point system.

Now he's official. "

A only has a kinship relationship with Harry and others, and the relationship between them is completely beyond the scope of human society, which makes it almost fair to handle this matter.

Unlike Ultron, who only regards money as numbers, A can understand the meaning of credit currency to society. Its logical calculation ability and information reception ability far exceed that of humans, and it is the most suitable person to do this job.

"Yes, as Mr. Osborne said, I like creating this system just like you like playing with armor." A said politely.

"You still use metaphors? If this is not a sentence typed in advance, then I have to say...Jarvis is a little out of date." Tony laughed, this feeling reminded him of the first time he put on the Mark armor Test flight.

There were many people involved in this creation, which was a new experience for him.

Harry shrugged, knowing that Tony must have a lot of questions to ask, and he could take a rest first.

"You...do you know your name?" Tony asked.

"Of course, my name is Emily, you can just call me A."

"Well..." Tony touched his chin. He wanted to ask more questions, questions that Jarvis couldn't give him the ideal answers.

Tony asked: "Do you know what your mission is?"

"Mr. Stark, I have to say that this question sounds like a father who wants his son to succeed. If you educate your child with this attitude, it may have a bad impact on the child." A joked.

Tony was stunned, this was an answer he hadn't expected.

If it were Jarvis, he would not hesitate to answer a lot of questions to assist his daily research life and protect himself and Pepper Barabara.

A then added: "But if you look at it from another perspective, I would rather answer: I was designed to be good at managing and studying social affairs to make the world a better place."

"Good answer...it's indeed my question, sorry." Tony apologized seriously.

He himself has also researched an augmented reality system for treating PTSD and some psychological problems.

The first healer of the augmented reality device was himself. He simulated the image of his parents, and then expressed his feelings for them to the phantom in the AR scene.

So he is not ignorant of psychology. He can understand what A means - giving a child a "mission" is indeed not the correct way to raise children.

And A seems to have transcended this flaw.

Tony was silent for a moment and asked: "A madman tied five innocent people to the tram track, and an out-of-control tram was heading towards them..."

Only halfway through his words, A interrupted him and continued: "Fortunately, I can pull the lever to make the tram go to another track, but there is also a person there. Should I pull it? Really?"

Tony nodded, but his face looked a little heavy. This question reminded him of this situation.

Pepper, Harry, and the world were all pulled into different orbits, and he was like the man being asked to make a choice by a madman.

"I have to say, Mr. Stark, I don't have a body to pull the lever - besides, I will definitely stop that madman before it happens. In fact, I have sent many madmen to prison." A said playfully. arrive.

Tony was stunned again, and he said persistently: "The madman tricked you - you can hack into the operating system of the lever."

"Then I can also hack into the tram's control system? I can force it to stop."

"...Madman's computer skills are so good that you can only hack the lever."

"Then I'll drop the Titan and pull this car."

"Ah?" Tony's voice undoubtedly showed his confusion, and he continued to add: "Madman can counter-airdrop!"

"Then I'll call the drone from close range."

"...He can bring the drone down."

"This is quite technical. The latest drone has a top speed of Mach 4 - but since it is a tram, I can control the power grid to create electrostatic force to stop it."

"Then..."

Tony wanted to say something else, but A didn't want to continue answering the question.

"Mr. Stark, you might as well say that you are the madman - in fact, even you can't be one step ahead every time, right? This is a good thought experiment, but the reality is not like this."

The trolley problem was originally used to refute the assumptions of utilitarians and deontologists.

In fact, if Tony just wanted to check A's intelligence and tendencies, there would actually be no problem with A's answer.

It's just that Tony seems to have got into the horns of a bull.

A continued to add:

"I will try my best to save everyone, and then catch that madman. This is the meaning of my existence, and I will try my best to do it."

Tony lay down on the sofa without any force, facing the ceiling and said: "What if your efforts fail and everyone dies?"

"That is failure, but it is also the failure of everyone who has tried - we cannot predict failure." A said flatly.

Tony opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Harry knew that he should interrupt the topic. He could guess what Tony wanted to say: Then isn't this your responsibility?

"And the criminal wasn't the one who made the choice, it was the madman - I'm not talking about you Tony Stark, I'm talking about Hydra.

Now that we're at the stage where this lunatic is tying people to the railroad tracks, do you want to join in or not? "

This problem is a big killer for people like Tony - no matter what choice you make, people will die.

But you don’t tie people to the rails. As long as you focus on solving the problem instead of thinking about how you should take responsibility first, this problem will not be so "difficult".

Harry knocked on the table, and A made the same movement in Tony's room. The banging sound brought Tony back to reality.

Tony turned his head, his expression was a little complicated, because he thought what Harry said made sense!

Once the perspective is changed, no matter what choice the madman makes for himself, what he has to do is always save people, right?

I was actually taught a lesson by a young man in his 20s and a young AL who was not yet one month old...

He would rather be taught a lesson by centenarian Steve Rogers.

After thinking about it, Tony stood up and walked towards Mark Armor: "Okay, I'll join the gang. Also, I heard that you are fighting Hydra? Send me a few addresses, I want to vent."

Harry smiled, it didn't matter.

It's just that his partner is like the mentor of the Avengers, otherwise his superhero nickname would be "The Godfather".
