#AI#Automation#Philosophy#FreeWill: "Experiments show that people tend to confirm decisions made by machines, even against their better judgment.
We’ve all seen the GIF of the tourists who have driven into the middle of a lake because their GPS system told them to. We humans are ultimately herd creatures. We are rather lazy and prefer to follow orders – even those of a machine. A doctor who has to make a lot of decisions quickly under great pressure would probably welcome a machine to help her decide what to do. But the world isn’t built like that – there isn’t always a right answer as to which patient should get the precious kidney. In the most interesting cases in human life, the options are «en par.» That’s why AI systems should ask for an active decision in hard cases."
