I have written a number of times about The Singularity, an occurrence in the potentially not too distant future, about 2030 to 2050, when one or more of our computer pals wakes up and becomes self-aware. This Singular Artificial Intelligence would be capable of self-updating, making improvements faster and more powerfully, until it surpassed human intelligence. The outcome could have ...
Here is another intriguing guest post by Melisa Marzett.
This question was raised long time ago in old science-fiction films.

In a not too distant future, you may be riding in an autonomous vehicle that is forced to decide between running over a pedestrian or a bicyclist. Or whether to crash into a tree or another automobile. It may make a decision you are not particularly happy with. These decisions will rely on “artificial intelligence” built into these cars.
